Method 1
Base + acid -> salt + water
https://www.focuselearning.co.uk/s/1ljciv1opx8e
(s) + (aq) →(aq) + (l)
Method
1. Add solid base to excess,
2. filter to remove the excess base
3. Collect the filtrate
4. Evaporate the excess water from the solution in an evaporating dish
5. Place the concentrated solution in a crystallising dish.
6. Place the crystallising dish in a warm dry place
7. Wash and dry the crystals.
Method 2
Acid + alkali -> salt + water.

(note this a more slightly more advanced method than you used last week)
(aq) + (aq) -> (aq) + (l)
Method:
1. Add the acid to the alkali and use an indicator to work out the volumes of liquids needed.
2. Repeat the reaction using the correct volumes and without the indicator.
3. Evaporate the excess water from the solution in an evaporating dish
4. Place the concentrated solution in a crystallising dish.
5. Place the crystallising dish in a warm dry place
6. Wash and dry the crystals.

Which method should be used?
CuO(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → CuSO₄(aq) + H₂O(l)
Which method should be used? CuCO₃(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → CuSO₄(aq) + H₂O(l) +CO₂
Which method should be used? Mg(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + H₂(g)
Which method should be used? NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)
Which method should be used? KOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → KCl(aq) + H₂O(l)
Which method should be used? KOH(aq) + HNO₃(aq) → KNO₃ (aq) + H₂O(l)
Which method should be used? 2NaOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → Na2SO4 (aq) + 2H₂O(l)
Put the steps for making pure dry iron sulfate into the correct order.
Firstly add excess iron to the sulfuric acid (1)
Filter the excess iron from the iron sulfate (2)
Wash the crystals with distilled water and dry the crystals with filter paper (5)
Heat the filtrate in an evaporating dish (3)
leave the concentrated filtrate in an evaporating dish in warm place (4)
Which acid is used to prepare iron sulphate?
(hint there is only one correct answer)
Which acid is used to prepare iron citrate?
(hint there is only one correct answer)
Which acid is used to prepare iron nitrate?
(hint there is only one correct answer)
Note some metal hydroxides are bases but not alkalis
This is shown by the state symbol for the hydroxide
Magnesium sulfate (which is soluble in water) could be made by
MgO(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + H₂O(l)
Mg(OH)₂(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l)
MgCO₃(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + H₂O(l) +CO₂(g)
Hint Mg(OH)2 is insoluble
