and salts
4.1 describe the use of the indicators litmus, phenolphthalein and
methyl orange to distinguish between acidic and alkaline solutions
4.2 understand how the pH scale, from 0–14, can be used to
classify solutions as strongly acidic, weakly acidic, neutral, weakly
alkaline or strongly alkaline
4.3 describe the use of universal indicator to measure the
approximate pH value of a solution
4.4 define acids as sources of hydrogen ions, H+, and alkalis as
sources of hydroxide ions, OH¯
4.5 predict the products of reactions between dilute hydrochloric,
nitric and sulfuric acids; and metals, metal oxides and metal
carbonates (excluding the reactions between nitric acid and metals)
4.6 understand the general rules for predicting the solubility of
salts in water:
i all common sodium, potassium and ammonium salts are soluble
ii all nitrates are soluble
iii common chlorides are soluble, except silver chloride
iv common sulfates are soluble, except those of barium and calcium
v common carbonates are insoluble, except those of sodium,
potassium and ammonium
4.7 describe experiments to prepare soluble salts from acids

A substance forms an aqueous solution when it dissolves
in water. Water itself is neutral.
When substances dissolve in water, they dissociate into
individual ions.

Salt formation
When acids and alkalis react together,
salts are formed.
The general equation is:
Acid + Base  Salt + Water
Salt formation
When acids and alkalis react together,
salts are formed.
The general equation is:
Acid + Base  Salt + Water
This is known as a neutralisation reaction
because the products are neutral.
Salt formation
Salts consist of two parts – a metal part,
and the non-metal ion from the acid.

Solubility of salts
If a substance is soluble, then this means that it
will dissolve in a solvent.

The most common solvent you will come across is
WATER.

Acid – Alkali Titrations
A titration is a
very accurate way
of adding an acid
to an alkali to get
a salt.
Acid – Alkali Titrations
To carry out an acid-alkali titration we need
the right bits of kit.

To carry out an acid-alkali titration we need
the right bits of kit.
Burette
Acid – Alkali Titrations
Stage 1
Dilute sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
solution is sucked up into a pipette
using a pipette filler. The pipette
contains exactly 25.0cm3 of
solution when the bottom of the
meniscus is level with the pipette
mark. The sodium hydroxide
solution is then released in to the
conical flask.

Stage 2
Two or three drops of an acidalkali indicator such as litmus
solution are added to the sodium
hydroxide solution using a teat
pipette. The alkali turns the
litmus blue.
Acid – Alkali Titrations
Stage 3
The burette is filled with dilute
hydrochloric acid to the zero
reading. (Again, look for the
meniscus)
Acid – Alkali Titrations
Stage 4
The conical flask is placed on a
white tile beneath the burette.
Acid is added from the burette
until the colour of the solution
turns from blue to red. The point
at which the colour changes is
called the end-point. At this
stage the conical flask only
contains salt and water.

At the end-point the volume of
acid added can be measured by
reading off the volume used in the
