Q

how can boiling/melting points be used to determine the impurity of a substance?

A

the higher the boiling point ( from the pure element/compound) the impurer the substance - vicea versa for melting point

cream precipitate

18
Q

what is the result when iodide is present ( in a test for negative ions )?

A

yellow precipitate

19
Q

what is the test for sulphate and what is the positive result?

A

white precipitate

add dilute hcl and then barium chloride

20
Q

how do you differentiate between aluminium, calcium and magnesium?

A

add excess naoh and then only aluminium will form a colourless solution
then use a flame test to differentiate between calcium and magnesium

21
Q

what is the positive result for a test for an ionic solution containing aluminium?

A

white precipitate

22
Q

what is the positive result for a test for an ionic solution containing calcium?

A

white precipitate

23
Q

what is the positive result for a test for an ionic solution containing magnesium?

A

white precipitate

24
Q

what is the positive result for a test for an ionic solution containing copper?

A

blue precipitate

25
Q

what is the positive result for a test for an ionic solution containing iron (II)?

A

green precipitate

26
Q

what is the positive result for a test for an ionic solution containing iron (III)?

A

brown precipitate

27
Q

what is precipitate?

A

Precipitation is the process of conversion of a chemical substance into a solid from a solution by converting the substance into an insoluble form or a super-saturated solution. When the reaction occurs in a liquid solution, the solid formed is called the precipitate

28
Q

what are two advantages of of instrumental methods compared with chemical tests for identifying chemicals?

A

less time

less chemicals used

29
Q

why is it difficult to identify the metal ions from the colour of the flame, if there are various ions in the compound?

A

because the colours are masked / can only see one colour

30
Q

how would you test for the presence of sulphate ions and what would the positive result be?

A

add barium chloride (solution)
add hydrochloric acid
white precipitate produced

31
Q

how do you test a solution to see if carbonate ions are present?

A

add dilute acid

limewater (turns) cloudy / milky

32
Q

what is the retention factor?

A

distance travelled by substance / distance travelled by solvent ( solvent front )

33
Q

why must the line be in pencil in chromatography?

A

because pencils are insoluble
