19
Q

Sequence of tests

A
  1. Carbonate test: CO3^2-
  2. Sulfate test: SO4^2-
  3. Halide test: Cl-, Br-, I-
20
Q

Only carbonate produce…

A

…bubbles of gas wen an acid is added.

21
Q

What is expected when Ba^2+(aq) ions are added?

A

A white precipitate of barium sulfate will form, if SO4^2(aq) ions are present.

22
Q

Describe a false positive for the sulfate test

A

If carbonate ions are present, a white precipitate of barium carbonate, BaCO3(s), will form as it is also soluble. This is a flase positive.

23
Q

What is expected when Ag+(aq) are added to a halide solution?

A

A precipitate of a silver halide is expected.

24
Q

What happens if a carbonate or sulfate are present in a halide test?

A

A precipitate will be seen as CO3^2- and SO4^2- are also insoluble.

25
Q

Describe the carbonate test

A

Add any acid until effervesence stops. Effervesence shows carbonate present. Adding the acid to excess removes the carbonate prior to the sulfate test.

26
Q

Why is acid added in excess during the carbonate test?

A

To remove all the carbonate prior to the sulfate test.

27
Q

Describe the sulfate test

A

Add barium nitrate,. Any white precipitate formed (indicating the presence of a sulfate) should be removed via filtration.

28
Q

Describe the halide test

A

Add silver nitrate solution. A precipitate will form if a halide is present. Add ammonia solution to confirm which halide it is.

29
Q

Reagent to test for ammonium- NH4+

A

Sodium hydroxide, NaOH(aq)

30
Q

Describe the test for identifying ammonium

A

Heat aqueous ammonium ions and aqueous hydroxide ions together as they will react to form ammonia gas, NH3(g).

31
Q

Obs for ammonium test

A

Ammonia gas is produced which turns damp red litmus paper blue.

32
Q

Ionic equ for ammonium test

A

NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq) …. NH3(g) + H2O(l)

33

38
Q

Colour and formula of Fe2+ precipitate

A

Fe(OH)2(s) / Fe(OH)3(s)

39
Q

Colour of maganese II Mn2+ solution

A

Very pale pink, virtually colourless

40
Q

Colour and formula of Mn2+ precipitate

A

41
Q

Colour of chromium III Cr3+ solution

A

Green

42
Q

Colour and formula of Cr3+ precipitate

A

Green/grey. Dissolves in excess to form green solution.
Cr(OH)3(s) / [Cr(OH)6]^3-(aq)
