Metal Hydroxide tests Flashcards
Step 1
- add a few drops of dilute sodium hydroxide solution and observe colour of preciptate formed
Copper result
blue precipitate
Calcium result
white preciptate
Magnesium result
white preciptate
Iron II result
green preciptate
Iron III result
brown precipitate
Aluminium result
white preciptate at first, if add excess sodium hydroxide, redissolves and turns colourless
copper nitrate + sodium hydroxide
copper nitrate + sodium hydroxide - sodium nitrate + copper hydroxide
calcium nitrate + sodium hydroxide
calcium nitrate + sodium hydroxide - sodium nitrate + calcium hydroxide
magnesium nitrate + sodium hydroxide
magnesium nitrate + sodium hydroxide - sodium nitrate + magnesium hydroxide
Iron II nitrate + sodium hydroxide
iron II nitrate + sodium hydroxide - sodium nitrate + iron II hydroxide
Iron III nitrate + sodium hydroxide
iron III nitrate + sodium hydroxide - sodium nitrate + iron III hydroxide
aluminium nitrate + sodium hydroxide
aluminium nitrate + sodium hydroxide - sodium nitrate + aluminium hydroxide
