ID and gases Flashcards
ammonia test
damp UI / red litmus paper
goes blue
CO2 gas test
limewater
goes cloudy
Cl2 gas test
damp UI/blue litmus paper
goes red then beaches
CO2 test - equation
Ca(OH)2 (aq) + CO2(g) > CaCO3(s) + H2O(l)
Cl2 test equations
Cl2(g) + H2O(l) > HCl + HOCl
H2 gas test
lit splint
squeaky pop
H2 gas equation
2H2 + O2 > 2H2O
O2 gas test
glowing splint
relights
water vapour test
anyhdrous copper sulphate (white)
goes blue
carbonate ions test
+acid - effervescence
bubble through limewater - clear>cloudy (proves CO2 made)
carbonate ions - equation
2H,+(aq) + CO3,2-(aq) > H2O(l) + CO2(g)
sulphate ions test
add acid eg HCl (to remove carbonate ions and wont interfere with BaCl2)
add anything with barium ions in eg BaCl2 - white ppt.
sulphate ions test equation
SO4,2-(aq) + Ba,2+(aq) > BaSO4(s)
halide ions test
add HNO3 (remove carbonate ions, wont interfere as has nitrate ions in)
add AgNO3
result
- Cl2 - white
- Br2 - creme
- I2 - yellow
halide ions test equation eg Br2
Br,-(aq) + Ag,+(aq) > AgBr(s)
flame test method
- dip nichrome wire into HCl(aq) + heat in roaring flame to clean wire
- dip wire back into HCl and into the test substance so it sticks to wire
- put wire in the roaring flame and observe the colour
sodium flame colour
orange
lithium flame colour
crimson
potassium flame colour
lilac
