Q

why does the glowing splint relight?

A

pure 02 is more concentrated than the 02 in normal air- the wood in the splint combusts faster

Q

what is the test for the purity of H20?

A

measure its boiling point and compare it to 100 degrees celsius-if it is closer to 100 degrees celsius, it is more pure

Q

why does the ammonia conduct this reaction?

A

-the NH3 reacts with the dampness (H20) to form 0H- ions
-the NH3 acts as a base by accepting H+ ions from the H20
-the OH- ions are whats left after H20 has lost H+ and they are alkaline so the red litmus paper turns blue

if the precipitate for NaOH turns blue, what metal cation is it?

A

Cu2+

28
Q

if the precipitate for NaOH turns green, what metal cation is it?

A

Fe2+

29
Q

if the precipitate for NaOH turns brown, what metal cation is it?

A

Fe3+

30
Q

how do we test for ammonium?

A

using sodium hydroxide

31
Q

how to conduct an ammonium test?

A

-dissolve the sample in water
-add some NaOH and warm it
test the gas with red litmus paper (the ammonium test)

32
Q

if NH4+ ions are present in the original sample, what colour will the litmus paper turn?

A

blue

33
Q

what do we use to test for halides?

A

the silver nitrate test

34
Q

what are the halide ions?

A

Cl-, Br- and I-

35
Q

how to conduct the halides test?

A

-dissolve the sample in water
-add nitric acid (HNO3)
-add silver nitrate solution (AgNO3)

36
Q

what happens in the halides test if Cl-, Br- or I- ions are present?

A

a precipitate forms with the Ag+ ions from the AgNO3

37
Q

if a white precipitate is formed in the halides test what halide ion was it?

A

Cl-

38
Q

if a cream precipitate is formed in the halides test what halide ion was it?

A

Br-

39
Q

if a yellow precipitate forms in the halides test, what halide was it?

A

I-

40
Q

what is the test for carbonates?

A

the gas turns the limewater cloudy

41
Q

how do you conduct an experiment to test for carbonates?

A

-add hydrochloric acid and look for effervescence
-if effervescence is present, bubble the gas through limewater
-if CO32- were present, the gas evolved turns the limewater cloudy

42
Q

what is the test for sulfates?

A

white precipitate will form

43
Q

how do you conduct an experiment for sulfates?

A

-add hydrochloric acid and look for effervescence
-if there is no effervescence, add barium chloride solution
-if SO42- ions are present, they will form a white precipitate with the Ba2+ ions from the BaCl2
