Question

How to prepare salts

Answer 1

Explanation:

Salts are prepared by reacting an acid with a metal or a base, such as a metal carbonate, hydroxide or oxide. The acid provides the non-metal ion for the salt, e.g. chloride or sulphate or nitrate ions. The metal or base provides the metal ion for the salt, e.g. sodium or copper.

Answer 2

Make Your Own Sea Salt. If you live near a non-polluted source of salt water you can make your own sea salt—simply gather salt water in clean milk jugs or soda bottles, pour it into a large pot through cheesecloth and/or a sieve to remove any sand or debris, and boil until 90% of the water has evaporated.
