Q

Test for NH4+, ammonium ions

A

NH4+ (s) OH-(aq) -> NH3(g) + H2O(g)

1) it has a pungent smell
2) turns damp litmus blue ( its the only common alkaline gas. make sure the paper is in the gas and not the sodium hydroxide solution as this can also turn the litmus blue) - must be damp so the ammonia has forms hydroxide ions which change the colour of the litmus paper.

3) with a stopper from a bottle of concentrated hydrochloric acid it gives a white smoke -ammonium chloride
NH3(g) + HCl(g) -> NH3Cl(s)

Q

how do you perform a flame test

A

1) Use a platinum flame test rod and dip it into hydrochloric acid to clean it of any impurities and place in a non-luminous flame.
2) Then dip the clean rod into the substance and then back into the acid (which acts as a type of glue) then back into the unknown substance
3) The place into the bunsen burner and observe the colour of the flame.
