Green
What colour precipitate forms when a few drops of sodium hydroxide are added to a solution with copper(II) Cu2+ ions in it
Blue
What colour precipitate forms when a few drops of sodium hydroxide are added to a solution with iron(II) Fe2+ ions in it
Green
What colour precipitate forms when a few drops of sodium hydroxide are added to a solution with iron(III) Fe3+ ions in it
brown
Which metal ions form a white precipitate when sodium hydroxide solution is added
Magnesium ions-Mg2+
Calcium ions-Ca2+
Aluminium ions-Al3+
How would you test for carbonate ions?
Add an acid.
If carbonate ions are present, the solution will bubble. These bubbles are carbon dioxide
How would you test for sulphate ions?
Add dilute hydrochloride acid, then barium chloride solution.
If sulphate ions are present, A white precipitate will form
How would you test for halide ions?
Add dilute nitric acid, then silver nitrate solution
What colour do lithium ions burn
Crimson
What colour precipitate would form if nitric acid and silver nitrate were added to a solution containing chloride ions?
A white precipitate would form
What colour precipitate would form if nitric acid and silver nitrate were added to a solution containing iodide ions?
A yellow precipitate would form
What colour precipitate would form if nitric acid and silver nitrate were added to a solution containing bromide ions?
A cream precipitate would form
