Soluble Salts

SALTS are often created by reacting an ACID with a BASE.

To make a SOLUBLE salt from an INSOLUBLE base, you need to use the correct reactants.

For example, if you wanted to make LITHIUM CHLORIDE. You would need to pick the correct BASE to give you the LITHIUM and the correct ACID to give you the CHLORIDE.

So to create a Lithium Chloride salt you can use the two possible combinations of reactants:

1. Lithium Oxide and Hydrochloric Acid

2. Lithium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid
