Making salts

• Step 1

  Carefully measure out 40cm*3 of sulphuric acid (can be hydrochloric) into measuring cylinder then pour into beaker
• Step 2

  To speed up the reaction place beaker on a blue flame for about 30 seconds
• Step 3

  Add copper oxide until excess into beaker to make sure all the acid is neutralised
• Step 4

  Remove untreated copper oxide in the beaker by filtering it.
• Step 5

  Pour the filtered solution into an evaporating basin and heat it to get the water out
• Step 6

  Heat it over a beaker of water
• Step 7

  After heating the basin for 10 minutes take it off and you should be left with dry copper sulphate crystals
