soluble salts

• there are three ways to make soluble salts:

  1. metal + acid reacts to form salt + hydrogen
  2. alkali + acid reacts to form salt + water
  3. base + acid reacts to form salt + water
• salt solutions are produced by adding a solid to the acid until no more reacts and the excess solid is filtered off. solutions can then be crystalised to produce solid salts.
