Preparation of salts
Narrated lesson · press play
Salts are made in the lab every day — but the method depends on whether the salt dissolves. Learn the solubility rules, how to prepare a soluble salt by neutralisation and crystallisation, how to make an insoluble salt by precipitation, and where titration fits in.
