17
Q

What is the test and observations for the Chloride Ion?

A

Add dilute nitric acid, and then aqueous silver nitrate. White ppt of Silver Chloride is formed.

Q

(pure)

What is the test and observations for the Iodide Ion?

A

Add dilute nitric acid, and then aqueous lead nitrate. A yellow ppt of Lead Iodide is formed

19
Q

What is the test and observations for the Sulfate Ion?

A

Add dilute nitric acid, and then aqueous Barium nitrate. A white ppt of Barium Sulfate is formed.

20
Q

(pure)
How does one distinguish between a solution containing Al³⁺ and Pb²⁺ ions since they both give the same observations with NaOH and aqueous ammonia?

A

Add aqueous potassium iodide KI. A yellow ppt of PbI₂ is formed with lead but no ppt is formed with Al³⁺
