Preparation of Soluble Salts (Acid + Metal/Base/Carbonate)
Students will learn experimental methods for preparing soluble salts from acids and reactive metals, bases, or carbonates.
Key Questions
- Design an experimental procedure to prepare a pure, dry sample of a soluble salt.
- Explain the purpose of each step in the preparation of soluble salts.
- Compare the reactions of acids with metals, metal oxides, and metal carbonates.
