Lesson: Salts Chemistry • First Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to determine and interpret the names of simple salts and describe the preparation of soluble and insoluble salts.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

deduce the constituent ions and elements of a salt from its name,
identify salts from lists of named compounds,
write word and symbolic equations for precipitation reactions,
determine whether a solution of a salt is acidic and basic,
describe and explain the preparation of an insoluble salt (precipitate),
describe and explain the preparation of a salt from an acid and an insoluble reactant,
describe and explain the preparation of a salt from an acid and a soluble reactant.
