a FINAL revision on preparation of salts :):)

Recap SOLUBILITY TABLE


There are only 3 methods to prepare salts.

Follow these steps.

Step 1 : Check the solubility of salt
Soluble -->  acid + carbonate OR acid + base (metal oxides/ hydroxides) OR acid + metal (avoid this as some metals are too reactive/ unreactive e.g. Na, Cu)
Insoluble --> mix 2 aqueous salts to form a soluble and an insoluble salt. (PRECIPITATION)

Step 2: Choose appropriate reagents and check their solubility

Step 3: Decide Method to use
Soluble + Soluble --> Soluble salt (TITRATION)
Soluble + Insoluble --> Soluble salt (MIXING)
