QA Flashcards
carbonate test
add dilute acid; effervescence and carbon dioxide produced
chloride in solution test
acidify with dilute nitric acid, then add aqueous silver nitrate; white ppt observed
sulfate in solution test
add aqueous sodium hydroxide, then aluminium foil; warm carefully; ammonia produced
ammonium
effect of aq. sodium hydroxide: ammonia produced on warming
calcium
effect of aq. sodium hydroxide: white ppt. insoluble in excess
effect of aq. ammonia: no ppt.
copper (II)
effect of aq. sodium hydroxide: light blue ppt, insoluble in excess
effect of aq. ammonia: light blue ppt, soluble in excess giving a dark blue solution

lead (II)
effect of aq. sodium hydroxide: white ppt., soluble in excess giving colourless solution
effect of aq. ammonia: white ppt., insoluble in excess
ammonia gas
turns damp red litmus paper blue
carbon dioxide
gives white ppt. with limewater (ppt. dissolves in excess carbon dioxide)
chlorine
bleaches damp litmus paper
