Definition
• In chemistry, salts are ionic compounds that result from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. They are composed of related numbers of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge).
List of Salts• Potassium sulphate• Sodium sulphate• Calcium sulphate• Magnesium sulphate• Copper sulphate• Sodium chloride• Sodium nitrate• Sodium carbonate• Ammonium chloride• Potassium nitrate• Aluminium chloride• Zinc sulphate• Sodium acetate• Sodium hydrogencarbonate
Properties
Special properties:• Crystalline solid• Hard, brittle solid (due to strong ionic bonding
throughout the crystal)• High boiling and melting points (it takes a lot of
energy to break those bonds)• Dissolve in water into free moving ions and able
to conduct electricity. Something that can conduct electricity in solution is called an electrolyte.
• Molten salts also conduct electricity, but solid salts DO NOT (ions must be free to conduct electricity)
Common salt• Chemical formula: Nacl• Chemical name : Sodium Chloride.
Application:Chlor-alkali process: Chlor for chlorine
and Alkali for sodium hydroxide.

Bleaching Power
Chemical Name: Calcium oxychlorideChemical Formula: CaOCl2
Process: • Electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride(Brine);• Chloride on dry slake lime [Ca(OH)2] gives
bleaching power [CaOCl2]
Reaction:Ca(OH)2+Cl2→CaOCl2+H2O
Bleaching Powder.mp4
Application:• Bleaching cotton and linen in textile industry.• Bleaching wood pulp in paper industry• Oxidising agent in chemical industry.• Disinfecting drinking water.
Baking Soda
• Chemical Name: Sodium bicarbonate (Or) Sodium hydrogen carbonate
• Chemical Formula: NaHCO3. • Reaction: Nacl+H2O+CO2+NH3→NH4Cl+NaHCO3
Application:• Baking Powder:
NaHCO3+H+→CO2+H2O+sodium salt of acid
Carbon dioxide produced during this reaction causes bread or cake to rise making them soft and spongy.
• Ingredient in antacids, being alkaline. It neutralises excess acid in the stomach
• Soda acid fire extinguisher• Pest Control• Paint and Corrosion Removal• pH Balancer• As a bio pesticide• Cattle feed supplements

Washing Soda
• Chemical Name: Sodium carbonate• Chemical Formula:Na2CO3
• Reaction:2NaHCO3→Na2CO3+H2O+CO2
Na2CO3+10H2O→Na2CO3.10H2O
Application:• It is used in making glass, soap and paper.• It is used to manufacture Borax.• Cleaning agent – Domestic purpose.• Used to remove permanent hardness of water.• Sodium carbonate test.• neutralize the corrosive effects of chlorine.• Salt based Electrolytes.
Crystals of salt
• Water of crystallization is the fixed number of water molecules present in one formula unit of a salt.
• Example: CuSo4.5H2O Na2CO3.10H2O
CaSO4.2H2O
copper(II) sulfate
• A sample of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. It's a blue coarse crystalline substance and is sitting on a laboratory balance as shown below. The chemical formula for copper(II) sulfate is CuSO4. · 5H2O.
Plaster of Paris
• Chemical Name: Calcium sulfate (Gypsum)• Chemical Formula: CaSO4·2H2O • Reaction: CaSO4·2H2O → CaSO4·0.5H2O + 1.5H2O
Applications:• Supporting fractured bones in the right
position.• Making toys and materials for decoration• Making smooth surfaces
