Q

Which hydroxides form alkaline solutions containing hydroxide ions and why?

A

Group 1 hydroxides, Ca(OH)2, Mg(OH)2, Ba(OH)2 and Sr(OH)2 because they are all soluble in water

Q

Which halide forms a yellow precipitate when silver nitrate is added and is not soluble in dilute or concentrated ammonia solution?

A

Iodide

17
Q

What is the test for ammonium ions

A

Add Sodium hydroxide and heat - a foul smell, effervescence and litmus paper turns from red to blu as ammonia is alkaline when dissolved in water, hydroxide ions produced

18
Q

What is the test for sulfate ions

A

Add a barium compound and a white precipitate forms

19
Q

What is the test for carbonate ions

A

Add dilute nitric acid and effervescence is seen. Nitric acid is used as no precipitate forms which helps prevent false positives

20
Q

Which order are the ion tests carried out in and why?

A

Always Carbonate, Sulfate, Halide to prevent false positives
