What is the precipitate made when sodium hydroxide solution reacts with with magnesium ion (Mg2+) ?
A white one
What is the precipitate made when sodium hydroxide solution reacts with with calcium ion (Ca2+) ?

How do you test for a carbonate?
- Add an acid, it should fizz as a reaction happens:
acid + carbonate —–> CO2 + water + salt - Test for the CO2 by doing the limewater test, bubble the gas through limewater, if it turns cloudy then it is CO2.
How do you test for a halide ion?
- Add dilute nitric acid then silver nitrate solution
What colour precipitate is looked for when testing for chloride ?
A white one
What colour precipitate is looked for when testing for bromide?
A cream one
