This video tutorial covers the process of making and isolating insoluble salts, focusing on the precipitation method using sodium iodide and silver nitrate. It explains the concept of a precipitate, the role of solubility rules in identifying precipitates, and the filtration process to isolate them. A challenge is presented to predict the products of a double displacement reaction involving barium chloride and potassium sulfate. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on alternative methods to form insoluble salts, such as direct combination.

What is formed when silver nitrate is added to sodium iodide?

• A colorless gas

• A bright yellow precipitate

• A blue solid

• A clear solution

Which ions switch places in a double displacement reaction involving sodium iodide and silver nitrate?

• Sodium and silver ions

• Silver and iodide ions

• Iodide and nitrate ions

• Sodium and nitrate ions

How can you determine which product is the precipitate in a reaction?

• By using a solubility table

• By checking the color of the solution

• By observing the reaction speed

• By measuring the temperature change

What is the purpose of using distilled water in the filtration process?

• To speed up the filtration process

• To ensure all precipitate is collected

• To remove impurities from the precipitate

• To dissolve the precipitate

What is the state symbol for a precipitate in a chemical equation?

• (aq)

• (s)

• (g)

• (l)

Why is barium sulfate used as a contrast agent in x-rays?

• It is highly soluble in water

• It is a natural dye

• It is safe to ingest and not absorbed by the body

• It reacts with x-rays to produce images

What are the two methods to form insoluble salts?

• Precipitation and evaporation
