《IGCSE science Chemistry study notes》C8- Acids, bases and salts
Advertisement
Preparation: Mixing together elements and compounds. For an aqueous solution, add water.
Separation and purification:
- Distillation. Salty water is heated so that the water evaporates and condenses back into water in the condenser, leaving behind the salt in the flask.
- Filtration. Used to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid.
Crystallisation: Evaporating the solution to a much smaller volume and then leaving it to cool. As the solution cools, crystals form and these can be obtained by filtration.
Acid + Alkali -> Salt + Water
Hydrochloric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide -> Sodium Chloride + Water
Hal + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O
Add 30cm^2 of sodium hydroxide to a flask
Add 2 drops of the indicator phenolphthalein
Add the hydrochloric acid to the flask
The solution will turn colorless when neutralized
Heat the solution to evaporate the liquid and obtain the salt
Acid + Metal -> Salt + Hydrogen
Sulphuric Acid + Zinc -> Zinc Sulphate + Hydrogen
H2SO4 + Zn -> ZnSO4 + H2
Add zinc to a flask of the acid
When zinc dissolves, hydrogen bubbles will appear
Filter the solution to remove the excess zinc
Heat the solution to evaporate the liquid and obtain the salt
Acid + Base -> Salt + Water
Sulphuric Acid + Iron (II) Oxide -> Iron Sulphate + Water
H2SO4 + FeO -> FeSO4 + H2O
Add and excess iron oxide to the sulphuric acid
Filter the solution to remove the excess iron oxide
Heat the solution to evaporate the liquid and obtain the salt
Describe the following tests to identify aqueous cations
Ammonium -> Add dilute sodium hydroxide, warm up -> Ammonia gas is released, damp red litmus paper turns blue
Copper (II) -> Add dilute sodium hydroxide or ammonia solution -> A blue precipitate forms
Iron (II) -> Add dilute sodium hydroxide or ammonia solution -> A pale green precipitate forms
Iron (II) -> Add dilute sodium hydroxide or ammonia solution -> A red - brown precipitate forms
Zinc -> Add dilute sodium hydroxide or ammonia solution -> A white precipitate forms

In Pursuit of Glory
I felt a huge physical force slam into my back. I didn't have any time to think as I rocketed into the wall and felt the drywall dent beneath my body. Eyes wide, I groaned and began to push off the wall when, unceasingly relentless, my assailant backstabbed me with a knife to my gut. I gasped; being stabbed there is no laughing matter. Even today, with all the advances of science, a wound like that can easily be mortal. Most likely would be. I gasped for air with a snarl, funneling the wind into my lungs to help them expand after being pancaked into the wall. Nobody f***ing backstabs me and gets away with it. If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love being alive. I love it more than anything else. It’s something only a dead person can understand, and I feel myself forgetting all the time. But there’s a secret to death, and I keep it with me. Always. It’s never permanent, it’s never peaceful, and it’s always filled with regrets. But death, despite all of its shortfalls, can give a short respite from life, like a comfy afternoon nap. Death is Respite. It’s a rest for the weary. And to all those people who wander in death lonesome and regretting their broken lives - always, without fail, cut too short - I beg them to take advantage of it. I tell everyone to take advantage of death, even when I can’t bring myself to do so. --- Ciaran travels the world in pursuit of Glories, unfathomable, power-bestowing balls of golden light sequestered in difficult-to-reach places. A fun fantasy romp with a character with an unorthodox narrative voice trying to find his purpose in the world.
