Q

What is a precipitate?

A

solid formed from mixing two solution

18
Q

How do you conduct a sodium hydroxide test?

A

dissolve sample in distilled water
add a few drops of sample to test tube
add a few drops of NaOH to the sample

19
Q

What colour is the precipitate when using Cu²⁺ in sodium hydroxide test? and what is the precipitate formula?

A

blue
Cu(OH)₂

20

brown
Fe(OH)₃

22
Q

How do you test for ammonium ions?

A

dissolve sample in distilled water (if solid)
add NaOH and warm
Put damp red litmus paper into the gas produced

23
Q

How do you conduct a halide test?

A

dissolve sample in distilled water (if solid)
add nitric acid (HNO₃) → (prevents false positives)
add a few drops of silver nitrate solution (AgNO₃)
precipitate will form

24
Q

What colour is the precipitate when using Cl⁻ in halide test? and what is the precipitate formula?

A

white
AgCl → silver chloride

25
Q

What colour is the precipitate when using Br⁻ in halide test? and what is the precipitate formula?

A

cream
AgBr → silver bromide

26
Q

What colour is the precipitate when using I⁻ in halide test? and what is the precipitate formula?

A

yellow
AgI → silver iodide

27
Q

What is the ionic equation for this full equation:
KCl + AgNO₃ → AgCl + KNO₃

A

Cl⁻ + Ag → AgCl

28
Q

How do you test for carbonate ions?

A

add HCl → look for effervescence
yes = bubble gas through limewater, turns cloudy if carbonate
no = not a carbonate

29
Q

How do you test for sulphate ions?

A

Add HCl → look for effervescence
yes = check for carbonate
no = add barium chloride solution, if sulphate , white precipitate formed
