Q

How can you test for Carbonates

A

Add some dilute acid to the sample
Connect the tube to a vile of limewater
If the limewater goes cloudy then there was carbonates presentas CO2 was released

Q

How can you test for sulfates

A

Drop some dilute HCl (to purify)
Drop some barium chloride solution
The barium chloride should react with the sulfate and a white precipitate of barium sulfate should form.

Q

How can you test for halides

A

Add Nitric acid and silver nitrate to the mytery solution
Chlorine gives a white precipitate
Bromine gives a crean precipitate
Iodine gives a yellow precipitate

17
Q

What is a flame test

A

When you put a piece of metal in a flame and it comes out as a different colour and you can work out what metal it is

18
Q

Give the results for all the flame tests

A

Li- Crimson
Ca- Orange
Na - Yellow
Cu- Green
K- Lilac

19
Q

What is the method of doing a flame test

A

Dip a platinum loop into Hcl then hold it ontop of a bunsen burner until there is no coloured flame anymore.
Dip the loop into the sample and then put it into the flame to see the colour change

20
Q

What substance do you use for finding metal hydroxide precipitates

A

Sodium hydroxide

21
Q

What is the colour of calcium precipitate when mixed with sodium hydroxide

A

White

22
Q

What is the colour of Copper precipitate when mixed with sodium hydroxide

A

Blue

23
Q

What is the colour of Iron II precipitate when mixed with sodium hydroxide

A

Green

24
Q

What is the colour of Iron III precipitate when mixed with sodium hydroxide

A

Brown

25
Q

What is the colour of Aluminium precipitate when mixed with sodium hydroxide
When you add excess what colour is it

A

First it is white
When excess is added it turns colourless

26
Q

What is the colour of Magnesium precipitate when mixed with sodium hydroxide

A

White

27
Q

What is the method of flame emission spectroscopy

A

The sample is put into a flame and the light given out is passed
through a spectroscope.
The output is a line spectrum that can be
analysed to identify the metal ions in the solution and measure their
concentrations.

28
Q

What are advantages of using flame emission spectroscopy over normal methods

A

Its more sensitive
Its faster
Its more accurate
Its not subject to opinion
