QA Flashcards
How to test for carbonate
add dilute acid, colourless odourless gas is produced that forms a white ppt in limewater
How to test for chloride
acidify with dilute nitric acid, then add aqueous silver nitrate, white ppt should be observed
How to test for iodide
acidify with dilute nitric acid, then add aqueous silver nitrate, yellow ppt should be observed
How to test for nitrate
add aqueous sodium hydroxide, then aluminium foil; warm carefully. Pungent colourless gas is produced that turns moist red litmus blue
how to test for sulfate
acidify with dilute nitric acid, then add
aqueous barium nitrate. White ppt should be observed
How to test for Aluminium
When sodium hydroxide is added, white ppt., soluble in excess giving a colourless solution. When aqueous ammonia is added, white ppt., insoluble in excess
how to test for ammonium
When sodium hydroxide is added, ammnonia is produced on warming
How to test for calcium
When sodium hydroxide is added, White ppt, insoluble in excess. No ppt is formed when aqueous ammonia is added
how to test for copper(ii)
When sodium hydroxide is added, light blue ppt., insoluble in excess is observed. When aqueous ammonia is added light blue ppt., soluble in excess giving a dark blue solution
how to test for Iron(ii)
When sodium hydroxide is added, green ppt., insoluble in excess is observed. When aqueous ammonia is added, green ppt., insoluble in excess is observed
how to test for Iron(iii)
When sodium hydroxide is added, red-brown ppt., insoluble in excess is observed. When aqueos ammonia is added red-brown ppt., insoluble in excess is observed
how to test for Zinc
When sodium hydroxide is added,white ppt., soluble in excess giving a colourless solution is observed. When aqueous ammonia is added
white ppt., soluble in excess giving a colourless solution
How to test for ammonia gas
Gas should turn damp red litmus paper blue
How to test for carbon dioxide
gives white ppt when bubbled with limewater
How to test for chlorine
Turns blue litmus red and then bleaches it
