Important stuff to remember Flashcards
Sodium ion test colour
Yellow
Potassium flame test colour
Lilac
Lithium flame test colour
Crimson
Calcium flame test colour
Orange-red
Copper flame test colour
Green
Metal hydroxide tests
Add ionic compound to sodium hydroxide
Sodium displaces the metal from its compound, the metal forms hydroxide
Metal hydroxide = precipitate
Aluminium ions
Sodium hydroxide test
White precipitate
Add excess = dissolves itself
Magnesium ions
Sodium hydroxide tests
White precipitate
Add excess = insoluble
Calcium ions (precipitates)
Sodium hydroxide
White precipitate
Add excess = insoluble
Cu ii
Sodium hydroxide
Blue precipitate
Fe ii
Sodium hydroxide
Green precipitate
Fe iii
Brown precipitate
Carbonate ion
Add Hcl
Collect gas produced and bubble through limewater
Turns cloudy = carbon dioxide = carbon was produced
Halide ion
Add nitric acid HNO3
Add silver nitrate
Forms silver precipitate of halogens of different colours depending on it
Chlorine ion
White
Bromine ion
Cream
Iodine ion
Yellow
Sulfate ion test
Add dilute HCl
Add barium chloride
Forms white precipitate
Conditions for haber process
450°C
200 atm
Iron catalyst
Nitrogen in NPK fertilisers
Nitric acid + ammonia ——> ammonium nitrate
Phosphorous in NPK fertilisers
Ammonium phosphate
Calcium phosphate + calcium sulphate
Calcium phosphate on its own
Ammonium phosphate
Phosphate rock + nitric acid ——> phosphoric acid + calcium nitrate
Phosphoric acid + ammonium ——> ammonium phosphate
Single superphosphate
Phosphate rock + sulfuric acid ——> calcium phosphate + calcium sulphate
Triple superphosphate
Phosphate rock + phosphoric acid ——> calcium phosphate
Alkene test
Add orange bromine water
Shakeee
Turns colourless
Combustion of alkenes
Burn in air with smoky flame
Produces CO2 and H2O
Sometimes unburnt carbon
