Write about five salts with their chemical equations of production
Answers
Answer:
1) Sodium chloride (NaCl) is the most common type of salt in our lives. Known as table salt, it forms a cubic lattice when it's in solid form. It's one of the safest materials you can use in a chemistry class or kitchen.
2 ) Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) is an orange-colored salt composed of potassium, chromium and oxygen. Not only is it toxic to humans, it's also an oxidizer that is a fire hazard. Potassium dichromate should never be thrown away. Instead, it should be washed down the drain with a lot of water. Always use rubber gloves when working with this compound. If you spill a potassium dichromate solution on your skin, it gives you a chemical burn. Keep in mind that any compound with chromium in it is a potential carcinogen.
3) Calcium chloride (CaCl2) resembles table salt in its white color. It is widely used to remove ice from roads. It's more effective than sodium chloride as a deicer, because calcium chloride produces three ions, while calcium chloride produces only two. Calcium chloride can melt ice down to minus 25 F, as much as 10 degrees lower than for sodium chloride. Calcium chloride is so hygroscopic, which is the ability to absorb water, that if you leave it in a room uncovered, it can absorb enough water from the air to dissolve into a solution all on its own.
4 ) Sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4) forms from sodium, hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen. It is created from sulphuric acid and retains one of the acid's hydrogen ions, which gives this salt acidic qualities. Known as a dry acid, sodium bisulfate is used in commercial applications, such as reducing the pH level of spas and swimming pools, washing concrete and cleaning metals. In its solid form, sodium bisulfate forms white beads. This salt is poisonous and can damage your skin, so use rubber gloves when handling it. If ingested, call the poison control center immediately and do not induce vomiting.
5 ) Copper sulfate (CuSO4) is a blue salt made up of copper, sulfur and oxygen. When dissolved in water, it becomes colorless. If you dip an iron object in a copper sulfate and water solution, the iron soon takes on a red coloring. This is a film of copper, due to a chemical reaction between the solution and the iron. The same reaction causes iron to replace the copper in the solution, forming iron sulfate.
