Preparation of Salts Quiz

1

A method used to make copper(II) sulfate crystals is shown.
1. Place dilute sulfuric acid in a beaker.
2. Warm the acid.
3. Add copper(II) oxide until it is in excess.
4. Filter the mixture.
5. Evaporate the filtrate until crystals start to form.
6. Leave the filtrate to cool.

1

Four stages in the preparation of a salt from an acid and a solid metal oxide are listed.
1 Add excess solid.
2 Evaporate half the solution and leave to cool.
3 Filter to remove unwanted solid.
4 Heat the acid.
