Q

why would you rinse the benzoic acid crystals with water after the second filtration?

A

if they are damp with water still, that water could still contain the soluble impurity i.e NaCl

Q

what substance is used to test for a chloride?

A

potassium chloride (KCl)

30
Q

1st step in testing KCl for chloride

A

make an aqueous solution of it by adding a few crystals to a beaker 1/4 full of deionised water. shake well and it gives a colourless solution

31
Q

after aqueous solution is made of KCl in a test for chloride

A

add a few drops of silver nitrate and white ppt forms

32
Q

silver nitrate equation

A

Ag plus NO3 minus

33
Q

how do you confirm that the white ppt formed is a chloride?

A

add a quarter test tube of ammonia solution and shake gently

34
Q

what shows you is a chloride?

A

ppt dissapears

35
Q

equation to show that some sort of carbonate is presnent

A

Ca(OH)2 + CO2 -> CaCO3 +H2O

36
Q

how do you no if its CO3 minus 2 or HCO minus?

A

add a 1/4 test tube of MgSO4 to 1? test tube of the solution
carbonate: precipitate
hydrogen carbonate : no precipitate

37
Q

making nitrate solution for testing nitrate ion

A

fill test tube 1/4 full with deionised water and add some crystals of nitrate salt and shake to dissolve

38
Q

salt tested for nitrate

A

NaNO3

39
Q

what do you add to nitrate aqueous solution

A

the same quantity of iron sulphate to the tube

40
Q

after you add iron sulphate to the nitrate

A

slant the tube and add carefully concentrated sulphuric acid with a dropper

41
Q

after you slant and add sulphuric acid to nitrate

A

brown ring appears

nitrate is present

42
Q

why does a brown ring appear if nitrate is present

A

becuase concentrated sulphuric acid is more dense than NaNO3 and FeSO2

43
Q

the brown ring in the test for nitrate contains which complex?

A

FeSO4NO

44
Q

Sulphate salt to test

A

Na2SO4

45
Q

sulphite salt to test

A

Na2SO3

46
Q

making an aqueous solution of sulphite/ate salt

A

fill the test tube 1/4 the way with deionised water and add a few crystals to it

47
Q

what do you do with the aqueous solutions of sulphate/ite salts

A

using a dropper add a few drops of BaCl2

cloudy white precipitate forms

48
Q

after BaCl2 in sulphate/ite

A

add 1/4 test tube of dilute HCl and shake gently

  1. ppt stays-> sulphate
  2. ppt goes-> sulphite
49
Q

sulphate ppt formula

A

BaSO4 (insoluble in HCl)

50
Q

sulphite ppt formula

A

BaSO3 (soluble in HCl)

51
Q

making an aqueous solution of a phosphate

A

fill test tube 1/10 of the way with deionised water and add a very small amount of phosphate crystals, shake well, gives clear solution

52
Q

phosphate crystals used

A

ammonium phosphate

53
Q

after you make aqueous solution of phosphate

A

pour in ammonium molybdate solution until its half full

54
Q

in phosphate test, after ammonium molybdate

A

add carefully 4 or 5 drops of concentrated nitric acid, forms bright yellow ppt, it is a phosphate

55
Q

if a bright yellow ppt doesnt appear

A

place tube in 60 degree water

what is the yellow ppt?

A

ammonium phosphomolybdate
