Making a Salt from a Metal Carbonate | Making Crystals from Scratch | GCSE Required Practical

Most Chemicals are in a Raw unusable form, to transform them into something useful down the line we have to react them with something else. All compounds that contain #Carbonate reacts with an acid to form a #Salt, CO2 and water. The Process is incredibly simple, simply heat the acid, pour the metal carbonate in and then cool. However to create large, high quality crystals we need a saturated solution, meaning that all the acid reacts with the most amount of carbonate. This reaction is a #RequiredPractical, and the Equation is CuCO3+2HCl=CuCl2+CO2+H2O The reason the video is so long that i did not want to have the acid spit at me so please use the YouTube chapter makers or the Timestamps below to skip me putting the carbonate in a little bit at a time, though your going miss me explaining whats happening. 00:00 Intro 00:25 Method 03:57 Experiment 10:18 Folding a Filter paper 11:31 filtering 13:12 Recrystalisation 15:31 looking at the Crystals Philip M Russell Ltd Web: http://www.hemelprivatetuition.co.uk
