Preparation of Salts Quiz

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. What are the purposes of step 3 and step 4?

What is the correct sequence of steps for the preparation of a pure sample of copper(II) sulfate crystals from copper(II) oxide and sulfuric acid?

Salts can be made by adding different substances to dilute hydrochloric acid. For which substance could any excess not be removed by filtration?

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. In which order should the stages be carried out?

A salt is produced in each of the following reactions. P magnesium + dilute hydrochloric acid Q zinc oxide + dilute sulfuric acid R sodium hydroxide + dilute hydrochloric acid S copper carbonate + dilute sulfuric acid Which statements about the products of the reactions are correct? 1 A flammable gas is produced in reaction P. 2 Water is formed in all reactions. 3 All the salts formed are soluble in water.

Zinc sulfate is a soluble salt and can be prepared by reacting excess zinc carbonate with dilute sulfuric acid. Which piece of equipment would not be required in the preparation of zinc sulfate crystals?
