21. SALTS. CLASSIFICATION. RECEIVING. PROPERTIES.
Salts - the complex substances consisting of atoms of metals of metals (hydrogen sometimes enters) and acid radicals.
Classification of salts.

Names of salts.
| Acid radical (anion) |
Name of salt |
| Cl- |

nitrate |
| NO2- |
nitrite |
| S2- |
sulfide |
| SO32- |
sulfite |
| SO42- |
sulfate |
| CO32- |
carbonate |
| SiO32- |
silicate |
| PO43- |
phosphate |
| CN- |
cyanide |
| NCS- |

If metal has variable valency, then it is specified after chemical element in the Roman figure bracketed. For example CuSO4-copper sulfate (II).
Receiving salts.
| 1. With use of metals |
metal + nonmetal |
Mg+Cl2=MgCl2 |
| metal + acid |
Zn+2HCl=ZnCI2+H2 |
| metal + salt |
Fe+CuSO4=FeSO4+Cu |
| 2. With use of oxides |
main oxide + acid |
CaO+2HCl=CaCl2+H2O |
| acid oxide + basis |
CO2+Ca(OH)2=CaCO3+H2O |
| acid + the main oxides |
CaO+CO2=CaCO3 |
| the main + amphoteric oxides |
Al2O3+CaO=Ca(AlO2)2 |
| 3. Neutralization reaction |
acid + basis |
H2SO4+2NaOH=Na2SO4+2H2O |
| 4. From salts |
salt + salt |
AgNO3+NaCl=AgCl+NaNO3 |
| salt + alkali |
CuSO4+2NaOH=Cu(OH)2+Na2SO4 |
| salt + acid |
Na2CO3+2HCl=2NaCl+H2O+CO2 |
| Acid salts receive in the same ways, as averages, but at other molar ratios (at excess of acid) |
| NaOH+H2SO4=NaHSO4+H2O |
| Basic salts are formed at interaction of some salts with alkalis (at excess of alkali) |
ZnCl2+NaOH=ZnOHCl+NaCl |
Chemical properties of salts.
| Decomposition when calcinating |
CaCO3=CaO+CO2 |
| Salt + metal |
Fe+CuSO4=FeSO4+Cu |
| Salt + salt |
AgNO3+NaCl=AgCl+NaNO3 |
| Salt + alkali |
CuSO4+2NaOH=Cu(OH)2+Na2SO4 |
| Salt + acid |
Na2CO3+2HCl=2NaCl+H2O+CO2 |
