Explain how to prepare, separate, and purify soluble salts through the reaction of an acid with: (a) an alkali using titration (b) excess metal (c) excess insoluble base (d) excess insoluble carbonate (students are not required to learn general solubility rules for salts).

Quick explanation

Explain how to prepare, separate, and purify soluble salts through the reaction of an acid with: (a) an alkali using titration (b) excess metal (c) excess insoluble base (d) excess insoluble carbonate (students are not required to learn general solubility rules for salts)

• This point belongs to Preparation of salts, especially Preparation of salts outcomes.
• You need to be able to explain how to prepare, separate, and purify soluble salts through the reaction of an acid with: (a) an alkali using titration (b) excess metal (c) excess insoluble base (d) excess insoluble carbonate (students are not required to learn general solubility rules for salts).
• The key ideas to know are Describe, Explain, and Identify.
• Use the linked flashcards and practice questions to check recall, then practise applying the idea in an exam-style answer.
