Q

How do you test for ammonium ions?

A

Add aqueous sodium hydroxide to the sample and gently warm the mixture. A pungent-smelling gas is produced if ammonium ions are present. The gas produced turns damp red litmus paper blue. This gas is ammonium, NH3.

Q

When the colour of the precipitate is cream, what halide ion is present?

A

Silver bromide

18
Q

When the colour of the precipitate is yellow, what halide ion is present?

A

Silver iodide

19
Q

How do you carry out the flame test for positive ions?

A

1) Put a small amount of the compound to be tested in a nichrome wire loop. (First the wire loop should be dipped in concentrated hydrochloric acid and heated to clean it. Then it should be dipped in the acid again before dipping in the compound).
2) Hold the loop in the roaring blue flame of a Bunsen burner.
3) Use the colour of the Bunsen flame to identify the metal ion in the compound

Q

What is the test for ammonia gas?

A

Ammonia will form a white smoke in the presence of hydrogen chloride gas, HCl. The white smoke is ammonium chloride, NH4Cl.
