Q

Tests for carbonates?

A
  1. Put sample in test tube
  2. Add drops of dilute acid
  3. Connect test tube to limewater
  4. if CO2 is present limewater goes cloudy
17
Q

Test for sulfates?

A

Add Hcl and barium chloride to test tube with mystery solution
If sulfate is present a white precipitate forms

18
Q

Test for Halides?

A

Add a few drops of nitrate acid and silver nitrate solution to chloride, bromide and iodide
Chloride forms a white precipitate
Bromide forms a cream precipitate
Iodide forms a yellow precipitate

19
Q

How do we test for cations?

A

Through flame tests and precipitate tests

20
Q

Flame tests

A 
Lithium ---> Crimson flame
Sodium ---> Yellow flame
Potassium ---> Purple flame
Calcium ---> Orange red flame
Copper ---> Green flame
21
Q

Precipitate tests?

A

Many metal hydroxides are insoluble and form a coloured precipitate

Calcium ---> White
Copper ---> Blue
Iron || ---> Green
Iron ||| ---> Brown
Aluminium ---> White to colourless
Magnesium ---> White
