Q

test for chlorine

A

damp litmus paper is bleached white

33
Q

what is a cation

A

a metal ion

34
Q

process of a flame test

A

a nichrome wire is dipped in hydrochloric acid then heated to clean it
redid wire in acid then into unknown substance hold loop in blue flame record colour of flame

35
Q

what colour flame does a lithium ion have

A

crimson

36
Q

what colour flame does a sodium ion have

A

yellow

37
Q

what colour flame does a potassium ion have

A

lilac

38
Q

what colour flame does a calcium ion have

A

orange-red

39
Q

what colour flame does a copper ion have

A

green

40
Q

problem of flame test

A

doesn’t work with mixtures - some flame colours may hide others

41
Q

advantages of modern instrumental methods 3

A

expensive social training needed

results can only be interpreted by comparing with known substances

42
Q

what is flame emission spectroscopy used for

A

analyse samples for metal ions

43
Q

process of flame emission

A

sample placed in a flame
ions heat up electrons become excited and jump into higher shells when they drop back they emit energy as light passes through a spectroscope

44
Q

what happens when light emitted passes through a spectroscope

A

different wavelengths of light are detected to produce a line spectrum

45
Q

what is a substances line spectrum

A

the characteristics pattern of radiation absorbed and emitted

46
Q

why are no two ions line spectrums the same

A

it depends on the ions charge and electron arrangement msg different ions emit different wavelengths of light leading to different line spectrums

47
Q

what does the intensity of a spectrum indicate

A

the concentration of that ion in solution

48
Q

how can flame emission spectroscopy be used to identify different ions in mixtures

A

the spectrums for the different ions are created and then compared to the database

49
Q

how can the machine used for few indicate the concentration of an unknown

A

the spectrometer measures the intensity of light with a specific wavelength that is known to be a characteristic of an ion
the machine is calibrated using solutions of the metal ion of known concentrations it can then give a value for the unknown concentration

50
Q

how to test is a substance is a carbonate

A

it will fix and produce carbon dioxide

51
Q

equation and ionic equation for carbonate + acid

A

carbonate + acids -> carbon dioxide + water

52
Q

which two acids do you have to add to test for sulfate

A

barium chloride and hydrochloric acid

53
Q

what will form if sulfate ions are present when HCL and barium chloride are added

A

a white precipitate (barium sulfate)

54
Q

why must you add HCL before barium chloride when testing for sulphates

A

the hydrochloric acid gets rid of any carbonate ions, which would also form a precipitate with the barium chloride and confuse results

55
Q

ionic equation for testing for sulfates

A

ba ^2+ + SO4 ^2- -> BaS04

56
Q

what are the three halides we will be testing for

A

chlorine cl-
bromine br-
iodine I-

57
Q

process/test for halides

A

add few drops of dilute nitric acid to the unknown then add a few drops of silver nitrate solution if a precipitate forms, halide ions are present

58
Q

why is nitric acid added when testing for halides

A

it dissolves compound and removes any carbonate ions as they would also form a precipitate and confuse results

59
Q

what colour precipitate will a chloride ion form and what is it

A

white

60
Q

what colour precipitate will a bromide ion form and what is it

A

cream

61
Q

what colour precipitate will a iodide ion form and what is it

A

yellow

62
Q

66
Q

how to distinguish between calcium magnesium and aluminium ions
