Interpretation:
The preparation of metal chlorides by various methods is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Metal chlorides are the compounds that are formed by a metal and chlorine. They can be ionic compounds, covalent compounds, or
Metal chlorides are formed by various methods:
A metal chloride can be prepared by a direct reaction of a metal and molecular chloride. This reaction is very exothermic and hence, impractical for use.
Metals react with acids to form salts and release hydrogen gas. The metals that are more reactive than acids replace hydrogen to form salts.
A neutralization reaction involves the reaction of an acid and a base to give salt and water.
The reaction between a metal carbonate andacid results in the formation of a corresponding salt, carbon dioxide, and water.
The reaction that involves the formation of an insoluble salt by the mixing of two soluble salts is known as a precipitation reaction.
