Q

How to test for chlorine

A

Chlorine bleaches damp litmus paper, turning it white. (It may turn red for a moment first though- that’s because a solution of chlorine in acidic)

Q

How to test for carbon dioxide

A

Bubbling carbon dioxide through (or shaking carbon dioxide with) an aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide (known as lime water) causes the solution to turn cloudy

Q

How to test for hydrogen

A

If you hold a lit splint at the open end of a test tube containing hydrogen, you’ll get a “squeaky pop”. ( The noise comes from the hydrogen burning quickly with the oxygen in the air to form H2O).

Q

Describe a test you could use to test for the presence of carbonate ions

A

An acid , such as dilute hydrochloric acid, is added to the test compound. Carbon dioxide gas bubbles if carbonate ions are present. Limewater is used to confirm that the gas is carbon dioxide.

Q

How do you conduct a flame test

A
  • Dip a clean wire loop into a solid sample of the compound being tested
  • Put the loop into the edge of the blue flame from a Bunsen burner
  • Observe and record the flame colour produced

Aluminium, Al3+	White
Calcium, Ca2+	White
Magnesium, Mg2+	White
Copper(II), Cu2+	Blue
Iron(II), Fe2+	Green
Iron(III), Fe3+	Brown
17
Q

What occurs an addition of excess sodium hydroxide to a solution containing containing AL^3+ ions

A

Colourless

18
Q

Describe how flame emission spectroscopy work

A

Lundegårdh sprayed a solution of the sample material into a condensing chamber and then into an air-acetylene flame, where excitation occurred.

19
Q

What does the intensity of a flame emission spectrum of a solution relate to

A

It indicates the concentration of that ion in a solution

20
Q

Give three advantages of using machines to conduct chemical analysis

A
  • Very sensitive- they can detect even the tiniest amounts of substances
  • Very fast and tests can be automated
  • Very accurate
21
Q

What is a pure substance?

A

A pure substance is a single element or compound, not mixed with any other
substance

22
Q

What is a formulation and how is it made? Give examples

A
  • A formulation is a mixture of compounds in measured quantities that has been
    designed as a useful product.
  • Formulations include fuels, cleaning agents, paints, medicines, alloys,
    fertilisers and foods.
  • E.g. alloys are mixtures of metals; they are harder than pure metals, so have
    a particular purpose.
23
Q

Describe paper chromatography.

A

a) A start line is drawn near the bottom of the paper. The mixture is spotted on the line.
b) A beaker is filled with small amount of solvent (it cannot touch or go above the start line
when paper is placed in a beaker)
c) Paper is hung on a rod and placed in a beaker.
d) Solvent travels up the paper, thus separating the components.
e) Before solvent level reaches the end, the paper is taken out and the finish line is
marked. The paper is dried.
f) The procedure works when different compounds have different affinities for the
solvent/paper. Stronger attraction for the paper - travels slowly with the solvent etc.
g) Paper is called the stationary phase - it doesn’t move. Solvent is the mobile phase.

24
Q

How is Rf calculated?

A

Distance moved by the spot / distance moved by solvent

25
Q

In a paper chromatography experiment, a
compound A was found to have an Rf
value of
0.85 - what does it tell you about the compound?

A

It has a higher affinity for the solvent than for the paper.

26
Q

Describe the tests for hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and

chlorine

A

Hydrogen – pop with burning splint over gas
Oxygen – glowing splint relights
Carbon dioxide – turns limewater (Ca(OH)2) milky
Chlorine – bleaches damp litmus paper and makes it white

27
Q

Describe the test for carbonate anions

A

Add dilute acid, e.g. HCl
Fizzing observed, as CO2
is released.
E.g. Na2CO3 + 2 HCl → 2 NaCl + H2O + CO2

28
Q

Describe sulfate tests and give an equation

A 
Add a solution containing Ba2+ cations, e.g. a solution of BaCl2
White precipitate of BaSO4
 forms
E.g. K2SO4
 \+ BaCl2
 → 2 KCl + BaSO4
(!!!) can also be thought of a test for barium (II); add sulfates - white precipitate
forms.
29
Q

Describe silver nitrate tests and give equations

A

Add a solution of AgNO3 (acidified with HNO3
)
Chlorides - white precipitate, silver chloride; Ag+ + Cl−
→ AgCl
Bromides - cream precipitate, silver bromide; Ag+ + Br−
→ AgBr
Iodides - yellow precipitate, silver iodide; Ag+ + I−
→ AgI

30
Q

What are instrumental methods?

A

They are accurate, sensitive and rapid methods which are useful when the amount
of sample is very small

31
Q

Describe the flame emission spectroscopy

A

a) instrumental method used for identifying metal ions in solution or measuring
their concentration
b) Spectroscope measures the exact wavelength of the light emitted by a metal
ion
c) That allows for definite identification - sometimes colours are difficult to
distinguish.
d) Concentrations are found by measuring the intensity of light emitted. The
more intense light, the greater the concentration of the metal ion in a solution.
e) From the intensity vs concentration graph, you can read off a relevant
concentration value at a given intensity.

32
Q

What are cations and anions?

A

Cations are the positive ions; anions are the negative ions.
