All u nid to kno abt salts Flashcards
Soluble salts
all soluble

Cl (Exp PAH)
SO4 (Exp PABC)
all insoluble Exp all soluble
(CO3, Pb )
preparation for insoluble salts
Double decomposition reaction
- Choose a soluble salt solution containing cation of the insoluble salt
- Choose a soluble salt solution containing anion of the insoluble salt
- Mix two solutions
- Filter, wash and dry the precipitate
preparation for soluble salts
not K Na NH4
acid metal
acid metal oxide
acid metal hydroxide
acid metal carbonate
- Add excess solid to hot dilute acid
- Filter off the unreacted solid
- Evaporate to saturate the salt solution
- Cool to allow crystallisation to occur
- Filter, wash and dry crystals

Neutralisation reaction
- Use titration method to neutralise a given volume of acid to obtain the salt solution
- Evaporate to saturate the salt solution
- Cool to allow crystallisation to occur
- Filter, wash and dry the crystals

test for ammonia gas
bring a piece of moist red litmus paper to the mouth of the tt
(red litmus paper turns blue)
test for oxygen gas
lower a glowing wooden splint into the tt
glowing wooden splint is relighted
test for carbon dioxide gas
bubble the gas thru limewater
limewater turns milky
test for hydrogen gas
bring a lighted wooden splint to the mouth of the tt
Gas burns with a pop sound
test for chlorine gas
bring a piece of moist blue litmus paper to the mouth of the tt
(blue litmus paper turns red the bleached)
test for sulphur dioxide gas
bubble the gas thru acidified dichromate solution or acidified purple acidified manganate 4 ion
(the orange acidified dichromate solution turns green
the purple potassium manganate turns colourless)
test for hydrogen chloride gas
use a glass rod to bring a drop of concentrated ammonia solution to the mouth of the tt
(dense white fumess are formed)
test for nitrogen dioxide gas
bring a piece of moist blue litmus paper to the mouth of the tt
observe the colour of gas evolved
(blue litmus paper turns red)
(brown gas is evolved)
characteristics of ammonia gas
colourless gas pungent smell alkaline gas turns moist red litmus paper blue form dense white fumes with hydrogen chloride
(produced by heating a mixture of ammonium salt and alkali)
characteristics of oxygen gas
colourless gas
no effect on litmus paper
supports combustion
relights a glowing wooden splint
(produced by heating a chlorate5 or nitrate salt)
characteristics of carbon dioxide gas
colourless gas
acidic gas
turns mist blue litmus paper red
turns limewater milky
(produced by heating a metal carbonate or acid-carbonate reaction)
characteristics of hydrogen gas
colourless gas
no effect on litmus paper
forms an explosive mixture with air
burns with pop sound
(produced by an acid-metal reaction)
characteristics of chlorine gas
greenish-yellow gas choking smell acidic gas turns moist blue litmus paper red bleaches litmus paper
(produced by heating a mixture of manganese 4 oxide and concentrated hydrochloric acid)
characteristics of sulphur dioxide gas
colourless gas
pungent smell
acidic gas
turns moist blue litmus paper red
reduces orange acidified dichromate 6 ion to green chromium3 ion
decolourises purple acidified manganate 7 ion
(produced by an acid-sulphite reaction)
characteristics of hydrogen chloride gas
colourless gas forms fumes in moist air acidic gas turns moist blue litmus paper red forms dense white fumes with ammonia gas
(produced by heating a mixture of common salt and concentrated sulphuric acid)
nitrogen dioxide gas
brown gas pungent smell acidic gas turns moist blue litmus paper red reacts with water to form colourless solution
(produced by heating a nitrate salt)
action of heat on carbonate salts
all salts
produce metal oxide and carbon dioxide
potassium, sodium
do not decompose
silver
produce metal, oxygen and carbon dioxide
ammonium
produce ammonia, water and carbon dioxide
action of heat on nitrate salts
all salts
produce metal oxide, nitrogen dioxide, oxygen
potassium, sodium
nitrate salt and oxygen
silver
produce metal, nitrogen dioxide, oxygen
ammonium
produce nitrous oxide and water
iron2 oxide salt
copper2 oxide
black solid
test for carbonate ion
add dilute hydrochloric acid
bubble gas thru limewater
(limewater turns milky)
test for chloride ion
add dilute nitric acid
add silver nitrate solution
(a white precipitate is obtained)
nitirc acid prevent precipitation of silver sulphate and silver carbonate
test for sulphate ion
add dilute hydrochloric acid
add barium chloride solution
(a white precipitate is obtained)
hydrochloric acid prevent precipitation of barium carbonate
test for nitrate ion
Brown ring test
add dilute sulphuric acid
add iron2 sulphate solution
shake to mix well
carefully add concentrated sulphuric acid down the side of the tt
