2. There are three other ways of making salts from acids. Complete the following
equations to illustrate them.
3. Use the above information to complete the following reactions that form soluble salts
using acids.

5. A student conducts an experiment to obtain the salt zinc nitrate from zinc oxide
powder (ZnO). He adds the powder spoon by spoon into a flask containing 1M of nitric
acid (HNO3).
a) Describe what happens to the first spoonfuls of powder when he mixes it with the acid.

b) Describe what would happen if the student kept adding zinc oxide to the nitric acid
after the reaction between the acid and metal oxide was complete.

6. Fill in the missing symbols and balance the following equations for making salts.
7. Most precipitation reactions are very fast reactions that occur between ions. They
occur when two solutions of ions react to form an insoluble solid called a
precipitate.
a) Complete the symbol equation for the precipitation reaction between lead nitrate and
potassium iodide that produces the insoluble salt lead iodide.
8. Sodium hydroxide was poured into a test tube containing a colourless solution. The
metal’s hydroxide precipitate turned the solution blue.
a) Identify the metal ion present in the colourless solution. Circle your answer.
2+ 2+ 3+
Fe Cu Fe
b) In another experiment, dilute hydrochloric acid was poured into a test tube
containing
a colourless solution. The acid’s hydrogen ions reacted with the metal ions in the
solution and produced the gas sulfur dioxide.
Balance the ionic equation for this reaction.

10. a) Negative ions in salts can be identified in a solution by adding a reagent. Describe
an experiment to show that sulfite ions (SO32-) are present in a solution.
