chemical tests

Question 1

test for halide ions

Answer 1

Add HNO3 then AgNO3 → precipitate. Then add NH3 if necessary.

Chloride: white precipitate that dissolves in dilute NH3

Bromide: cream (hehe) precipitate that dissolves in concentrated NH3

Iodide: yellow precipitate that does not dissolve in any NH3 solution

Question 2

test for ammonium NH4+

and NH3 ig

Answer 2

Add NaOH → NH3. Test for NH3….it turns red litmus paper blue

Question 3

Carbonate test

Answer 3

Add HCl to the carbonate solution → CO2. Turns limewater cloudy.

Question 4

sulphate test

Answer 4

Add BaCl2 → a white precipitate

Question 5

alcohol test

Answer 5

add acidified potassium dichromate orange → green colour change for primary and secondary alcohols

Question 6

test for alkenes

Answer 6

Add bromine water. Orange → colourless

Question 7

test for haloalkanes

Answer 7

Dissolve in ethanol, add water and then do the halide ion test
