Reactions of ions in aqueous solutions Flashcards
State what you would observe when NaOH is added to the aqueous ion of Fe (II)
Green ppt formed which goes brown when left standing in air
State what you would observe when NaOH is added to the aqueous ion of Cu (II)
(Light) blue ppt formed
State what you would observe when NaOH is added to the aqueous ion of Fe (III)
Brown ppt formed (may look orange-brown)
State what you would observe when NaOH is added to the aqueous ion of Al (III)
White ppt formed
State what you would observe when NaOH is added to the aqueous ion of Co (II)
(Dark) blue ppt formed
What colour is the solution of the aqueous ion of Fe (II)?
Green
What colour is the solution of the aqueous ion of Fe (III)?
Purple (may look yellow-brown)
What colour is the solution of the aqueous ion of Al (III)?
Colourless
What colour is the solution of the aqueous ion of Cu (II)?
Blue
What colour is the solution of the aqueous ion of Co (II)?
Pink
The aqueous ion of Fe (III) is purple. However, the solution sometimes appears yellow-brown. Why is this?
Some [Fe(H2O)5(OH)2]2+ has been formed
NaOH is added to Fe (I) and a green ppt is formed. Excess NaOH is then added. What will be observed (if anything)?
No further change
NaOH is added to Cu (II) and a blue ppt is formed. Excess NaOH is then added. What will be observed (if anything)?
No further change
NaOH is added to Fe (III) and a brown ppt is formed. Excess NaOH is then added. What will be observed (if anything)?
No further change
NaOH is added to Al (III) and a white ppt is formed. Excess NaOH is then added. What will be observed (if anything)?
Colourless soln. formed (but different complex from original aq ion)
State what you would observe when NH3 is added to the aqueous ion of Fe (II)
Green ppt formed which goes brown on standing in air
