  • GCSE Chemistry - how to make a salt from an alkali (a soluble base). You have to exactly neutralise the alkali because both the acid and the alkali are soluble, so it is not possible to remove the excess of one of them by filtration.

    1-Fill a 25 cm3 pipette with NaOH
    2-Pour the 25 cm3 of NaOH in a conical flask
    3-Add 5 drops of Phenolphthalein to the flask (the colour will change to pink)
    4-Carefully add HCL from the burette to the flask till the solution becomes colourless
    5-Observe the exact volume of HCL needed for the reaction to neutralise
    6-Repeat the experiment again with the same volume of acid and base without adding an indicator
    7-Heat the salt solution till the point of crystallisation
    8-Cool it, Crystals of the salt is formed

      NO! Never drink anything in a science lab. Even if all the apparatus was 100% clean, and you had done the experiment perfectly to get a neutral solution (which is unlikely), it is still harmful. A relatively concentrated solution of salt is harmful and would make you sick.

    • @richardhiggins6471

      In theory, if the experiment was done perfectly, you would just have pure salt (sodium chloride) at the end of the experiment so you could sprinkle it on your food, but there's no way you would literally do that as there might be impurities in the chemicals, dirt on the equipment etc.

      The HCl was 0.1mol/dm3. I added 11.8cm3 of this to neutralise 25cm3 of NaOH, so in an exam question you might well be asked to work out the concentration of NaOH yourself. Have a go!

    • @richardhiggins6471
      @richardhiggins6471 Před 4 lety

      You add phenolphthalein indicator (not pH solution) first time you do it to make sure that the alkali is exactly neutralised. Then you repeat with exactly the same volume of acid and alkali.

      @@aaronlad7697 Yes, you don't need indicator second time because you know how much acid is required to neutralise the alkali. So second time you just have a solution of sodium chloride. Evaporate the water and you are left with pure sodium chloride.
