Student Learning Outcomes

1. After studying this chapter, students will be able to:
2. Explain that salts are ionic compounds formed due to
   electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged
   ions (in which the positive ions come from bases and
   negative ions come from acids)
3. Explain why at STP salts are solids with high melting
   points.
4. Describe that under normal conditions, ionic
   compounds are usually solids with lattice structures.
5. Explain why the molten and aqueous solutions of
   salts are good conductors of electricity by making
   reference to the idea of mobile ions
6. Describe the general solubility rules for salts. (these
   are:
   (a) sodium, nitrate, potassium and ammonium salts
   are soluble
   (b) chlorides are soluble except lead and silver
   (c) carbonates are insoluble except sodium,
   potassium and ammonium
   (d) hydroxides are insoluble except sodium,
   potassium, ammonium and calcium (partially) .
7. Describe the preparation, separation and purification
   of soluble salts by reactions of acids with alkali
   (titration), excess metal, excess insoluble base, excess
   insoluble carbonate
