Q

How would you test for the ammonium ion?

A

React with NaOH. If ammonia is produced then the damp red pH indicator paper should go blue

Q

What is the order of the anion tests? And why

A

Carbonate - sulfate/halide don’t produce CO2 (no carbon)
Sulfate - BaCO3 is also a white precipitate
Halide - both Ag2CO3 and Ag2SO4 are precipitates
