Chem Flashcards
product of metal carbonate
metal oxide + carbon dioxide
product of metal hydrogen carbonate
metal carbonate + carbon dioxide + water
product of metal hydroxide
metal oxide + water
Decomp
heat reactant in boiling tube with bung, tube goes into test tube of limewater
Catalytic decomp
water forms with oxygen bubbles, warm, to test for oxygen, do glowing splint test. catalyst present, no heat needed
Iron + sulfur —> iron sulfide
grey/black + yellow gas –> black/grey iron sulfide,
magnetic to non-magnetic, thru bright glow
colour of copper oxide
black
colour of sodium + chlorine gas –> sodium chloride
shiny grey + yellow/green –> white crystals
hydrogen + oxygen –> water
explode w/ small flame, loudy squeaky pop. Condensation of colourless liquid form on tube
sulfur + oxygen –> sulfur dioxide
yellow solid, burns with blue flame forming colourless gas
Testing for different ions in one solution
To test for presence of A and B ions, find out what other ions go with A and B to form a ppt. Add the new ions to both A and B, it’ll form 1 ppt, 1 solution, the ppt will be incl either A or B depending on if they form ppt or not, then try with new (2) to confirm other unknown ion.
Testing for different ions in unknown solutions using other given solutions
Add solution A to all unknowns and find out which form ppt and which don’t, then you know which ion it contains out of the unknown. Add solution B to the remaining unknowns to see what forms ppt which you can identify the ions in which solution.
Testing for different ions in one solution using given solution and a metal
Add metal to unknown, if metal is more reactive than unknown ion, reaction occurs, so we know the unknown ion is A. When do it again, if less reactive, no reaction so we know what the other unknown ion is present. To confirm, add given solution to unknown and depending on colour of ppt or if it even forms one, we know the ion present.
colour of copper carbonate/copper chloride
CuCO3 green decomp, blue green solid/solution, the CC’s are multi coloured
colour of lead oxide
yellow
