Multiple choice

The best method to use to make the salt of a reactive metal e.g. sodium chloride is....

  1. reacting an acis and carbonate

  2. reacting the metal with the acid

  3. reacting the metal and an insoluble base (oxide)

  4. titration, racting acid and alkali

D Correct answer
Explanation

Titration is the best method for making salts of reactive metals like sodium chloride because reactive metals react too violently with acid. Instead, you neutralize an acid with an alkali (like NaOH) using titration to get exact stoichiometric amounts, then evaporate to get pure salt crystals.
