Salts

of salts are chemical compounds (frequent from a metal in the form of cations and a nonmetal in the form of anions), which have a crystal structure consisting of ions. Salts are indispensable for humans. The most important salt is the common salt(Sodium chloride). In the Middle Ages also „the white gold was called ". Salt was always an important merchandise. It received even repeated mention in the Bible. Many cities carry the word salt (or the celtic word resound) in the name. Examples are resound, Realm-resound, Hallein, resound in Tirol, Swabian resound, to Salzburg, salt lattice, Bad Salzuflen, salt December ford and bath Salzschlirf.

Humans win salt either by seawater desalination, from salt plugs or from brines. Cities, those in the Middle Ages overSalt deposits ordered, were usually rich thereby very.

Use of salts: Common salt, soda (for Seifensiedereien, glassworks), wash material, chlorine production (bleaching and disinfectant, for the PVC production), thawing salt

characteristic characteristics of salts:

  • Salts are from ions constructed
  • salt melts and aqueous solutions leadthe electric current (over freely mobile ions as charge carrier)
  • salt crystals do not lead the electric current!
  • Salts are at ambient temperature solids. They have a high melting point
  • of salt crystals are hard and inflexibly
  • you to consist mostly of one or more Metallion andafter one or more
  • Säurerestion „outside “salts are unchargedly
  • salts possess usually a high bloom and boiling temperature, usually a small thermal expansion and compressibility.

Examples: Salpeter, Kochsalz


possibilities of the Salzbildung inNature and in the laboratory

1. Reaction products of an acid with a cousin. The general reaction equation in addition reads:

Acid + cousin → salt + water.

  • Example 1:

Hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxidesodium chloride + water

HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) →NaCl (aq) + H 2 O (l)


  • example 2:

Sulfuric acid + barium hydroxidebarium sulfate + water

H 2 SO 4 (aq) + Ba (OH) 2 (aq) → BaSO 4 (s) + 2 H 2 O (l)


2. Salzbildung from metallic oxide andAcid

  • example:

Production of fresh Kalkwasser

calcium oxide is mixed with water (and afterwards filtered)

CaO + H 2 O → Approx. (OH) 2


3. Salzbildung from nonmetallic oxide and caustic solution

according to the above reaction connect themselves nonmetals with caustic solution to salts

approx. (OH)2 + CO 2 → CaCO 3 + H 2 O + E


Note: In the reason correspond second and third possibility first, since nonmetallic oxides with water acids let develop metallic oxides with water caustic solutions form and.


4. Salzbildung from thatReact

to elements of metals and nonmetals partly violently with one another and form thereby salt.

  • Example: Mg + I 2 → MgI 2


5. Salzbildung made of metal and acid

of metals and acids react partially to a salt solution and a hydrogen.

Example:Mg +2HCl → MgCl 2 + H 2

types of salts

of salts always consist of metal ions and acid residue ions. Therefore one can classify it according to the metal ions or the acid residues. The latter is colloquially more frequent, if e.g. ofPhosphates the speech is. Here an overview of different salts arranged according to their acid residues:
