analysis Flashcards
ca+ ion and NaOH
white precipitate
Cu2+ ion and NaOH
blue precipitate
Fe2+ and NaOH
Green precipitate
Fe3+ and NaOH
Brown precipitate
Al3+ and NaOH
white at first but then redissolves in excess NaOH to form colourless solution
Ammonium and NaOH
no precipitate but heating gives of ammonia which you can identify as it will turn damp universal indicator purple or damp red litmus paper blue. It also have distinct smell
Cl- with nitric acid and silver nitrate
white precipitate of silver chloride
Br- and nitric acid and silver nitrate
cream precipitate of silver bromide
I- and nitric acid and silver nitrate
yellow precipitate of silver iodide
sodium ion flame test
yellow/ orange
potassium ion flame test
lilac flame
calcium ions flame test
brick red flame
copper ions flame test
blue green flame
testing for carbonates
add an acid and then test the gas by bubbling it through lime water
testing for sulfate ions
add dilute HCL and then barium chloride solution and a white precipitate of barium sulfate should form
