25
Q

A
  • group 1&2
  • NH4OH
26
Q

Which halides are insoluble?

A

All silver halides

27
Q

Are all sodium, potassium and ammonium salts soluble?

A

YES!

28
Q

How do we make insoluble salts?

A

-Using a precipitation reaction
- combine a cation and an anion from aqueous solutions to make an ionic salt
- once the salt has been precipitated out and is lying at the bottom of the flask, filter it from the solution, wash it and then dry it on filter paper

29
Q

How do we make a soluble salt?

A
  • Pick right acid and a suitable metal or an insoluble base
  • add the solid metal to the acid - it will dissolve until it has been neutralised
  • filter out the excess metal to get the salt solution
  • to get pure solid crystals of salt, evaporate some of the water and then leave the rest to evaporate slowly

(CRYSTALLISATION)

30
Q

What are examples of insoluble bases that can be used to make soluble salts?

A

Metal oxide or metal hydroxide

31
Q

How do we test for silver ions?

A
  • Add OH-
  • Brown precipitate
32
Q

How do we test for calcium ions?

A
  • Add OH-
  • white precipitate
33
Q

How do we test for copper (II) ions?

A
  • Add OH-
  • blue precipitate
34
Q

How do we test for lead ions?

A
  • Add OH-
  • White precipitate
35
Q

How do we test for iron(II) ions?

A
  • Add OH-
  • Green precipitate
36
Q

How do we test for iron (III) ions?

A
  • Add OH-
  • Reddish-brown precipitate
37
Q

How do we test for zinc or aluminium ions?

A
  • Add OH-
  • White precipitate at first
  • redissolves in excess NAOH
  • forms colourless solution
38
Q

How do we test for sulfates?

A

1) add dilute HCl
2) add barium chloride solution
3) if a white precipitate forms, it means the organic compound contained a sulfate

39
Q

How do we test for ammonia?

A

1) ammonia gas (NH3) is an alkaline so a damp red litmus paper will turn blue if present

40
Q

How do we test for ammonium ions?

A

1) add dilute hydroxide and gently heat the mixture
2) test for ammonia
3) if ammonia is given odd, there are ammonium ions

41
Q

How do we test for hydroxides? (Same as testing whether a solution is alkaline)

A

1) drop pieces of red litmus paper into the solution
2) If present - turns blue

42
Q

How do we test for halides?

A

1) add dilute nitric acid

43
Q

Positive test for chloride

A

White precipitate

44
Q

Positive test for bromide

A

Cream precipitate

45
Q

Positive test for iodide

A

Yellow precipitate

46
Q

Acid + alkali —>

A

Salt + water

47
Q

Acid + base —>

A

Salt + water

48
Q

Acid + carbonate —>

A

Salt + water + CO2

49
Q

Acid + metal —>

A

Salt + hydrogen

50
Q

How do we test for nitrates?

A

1) warm the solution with sodium hydroxide solution and aluminium foil
2) the aluminium reduces nitrate ions to ammonium ions
3)The ammonium ions react with the hydroxide ions to produce ammonia gas and water
4) test for ammonia

51
Q

Why do we add a dilute acid to test solutions?

A
  • To prevent a false positive
  • as the avid will get rid of any working anions that are unwanted
52
Q

How do we avoid mix-ups when testing a solution?

A

DO TESTS IN THIS ORDER
1) Test for carbonates
2) Test for sulfates
3) Test for halides
