QA Flashcards
QA tests. R: represents the thing testing positive
-
Test for hydrogen gas and observation
- Place lighted splint -> mouth of test tube
R: lighted splint extinguish w/ pop sound
Do this test when
- wooden splint
- any reactive metal given
Test for carbon dioxide and observation
- bubble gas -> limewater
R: white ppt formed -> limewater
Do this test when:
- limewater/aqueous calcium hydroxide given
- carbonate given
co2 test add test reagent in excess, what is the result?
-
add limewater in excess
R: white ppt. dissolves, clear soln.
Do this test to:
- confirm it is co2 and not something else
Test for oxygen gas
- Place glowing splint -> mouth of test tube
R: relights/rekindles glowing splint
Do this test when
- splint provided but no metal provided
Limewater chemical name
aqueous calcium hydroxide
what is Qualitative Analysis for?
identify unknown salt
LINK
all salts have cation + anion
2 possible water vapour tests
first
1. place cobalt(II) chloride paper -> mouth of test tube
R: Blue cobalt chloride paper -> pink
second
1. drop few droplets of liquid -> dehydrated CuSo4 (II)
R: White CuSo4 (II) turn blue
Do not use litmus paper/universal indicator
Test for chlorine gas and result
blue litmus paper
Process: put damp blue litmus paper near mouth test tube
R: turns damp blue litmus paper red, bleaches
red litmus paper
Process: put damp red litmus paper near mouth test tube
R: bleaches damp red litmus paper
Test for sulfur dioxide gas and result
R: turn aqueous acidified potassium maganate (VII) purple -> colourless
test for aqueous ammonia
R: turns damp red litmus paper blue
use red litmus paper to differentiate between aq ammonia and chlorine
is chloride and chlorine the same thing? what is the similarity/difference?
Chlorine
- gas
- Cl₂
Chloride
- anion, only present in salt!
- Cl-
list all acidic, alkaline neutral gases tested in QA
acidic
- cl2
- co2
- sulfuric (so2)
alkaline
- nh3
neutral
- h2
- o2
P.S.: nitrogen is neutral gas that need know but no test in QA
distinguish between hcl and hno3
test for chloride anion
why
- hcl, hno3 both release h+ ion
- cl anion diffrentiator
2 testers for cation
aqueous sodium hydroxide
aqueous ammonia
all cations have normal vol. and excess vol. results
zinc effect on aqueous sodium hydroxide (normal + excess)
normal
- white ppt.
excess
- soluble in excess -> colourless soln.
EXTRA INFO FOR LAB
(soln. appearance has change when added in excess, as white ppt. dissolves)
MEMO
- zinc
- iron(III)
- iron (II)
have same effect on both testers
zinc effect on aqueous ammonia (normal + excess)
normal
- white ppt.
excess
- soluble in excess -> colourless soln.
MEMO
- zinc
- iron(III)
- iron (II)
have same effect on both testers
