Anions Flashcards
Carbonates
Add dilute HCl
Effervescence, gas produced CO2 turns lime water milky
Chloride
Acidify solution with dilute nitric acid and add aqueous silver nitrate
White precipitate formed
Bromide
Acidify the solution with dilute nitric acid and add aqueous silver nitrate
Cream precipitate formed
Iodide
Acidify the solution with dilute nitric acid and add aqueous silver nitrate
Yellow precipitate formed
Nitrate
Add sodium hydroxide , then add a piece of aluminium foil and warm it
Effervescence is observed which is Ammonia and it turns moisty red litmus paper blue
Sulfate
Acidify the solution with dilute nitric acid and add aqueous barium chloride
or
Acidify the solution with dilute hydrochloric acid and add aqueous barium chloride
White precipitate formed
Sulfite
Add dilute hydrochloric acid and then add potassium manganate (VII) solution
Decolorises potassium manganate (VII) solution
