Study Notes

Solubility Rules

  • All sodium, potassium, and ammonium compounds are soluble in water.
  • All nitrates are soluble.
  • Most common chlorides are soluble, except lead chloride and silver chloride.
  • Most common sulfates are soluble, except barium sulfate, strontium sulfate, and calcium sulfate.
  • Most common carbonates are insoluble, except sodium, potassium, and ammonium carbonates.
  • Most metal hydroxides are insoluble, except alkali hydroxides, barium hydroxide, and calcium hydroxide, which are slightly soluble in water.

Methods of Salt Preparation

Making Soluble Salts

  • Reacting a solid with an acid:
    • Acid + metal (only for moderately reactive metals from magnesium to iron in the reactivity series)
    • Acid + metal oxide or hydroxide
    • Acid + carbonate
  • Titration method:
    • Used for sodium, potassium, and ammonium salts
    • A measured volume of a solution of known concentration (the standard solution) is added to a measured volume of the solution of unknown concentration
    • The volume of the standard solution needed to react completely with the unknown solution is measured, allowing the concentration of the unknown solution to be calculated

Practical Examples

Making Magnesium Sulfate Crystals

  • Reacting magnesium with sulfuric acid
  • The acid does not have to be heated

Making Sodium, Potassium, and Ammonium Salts

  • Titration method is used
  • Example: Making sodium sulfate (Na2SO4)
    • 2NaOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Making Insoluble Salts

  • Precipitation method:
    • Mixing solutions of two soluble salts to form an insoluble salt and a solution of a soluble by-product
    • Example: Making silver chloride (AgCl)
      • AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)

Important Concepts

  • Soluble salts can be made by reacting a solid with an acid or using the titration method
  • Insoluble salts can be made using the precipitation method
  • Nitrates are always soluble, and sodium and potassium salts are always soluble
