Q

Why is HCl acid not used to acidify the AgNO3 reaction

A

Cl- would react with silver ion Ag+ to form white ppt and form flase positive result

22
Q

Magnesium chloride with H2SO4

A
  • With limited H2SO4 slightly white ppt
  • With excess remains colourless solution
23
Q

Test for ammonia solution

A
  • Place ammonium chloride + NaOH + warm releases NH3
  • Forms ammonia gas which is a weak base and turns damp red litmus paper blue
24
Q

Test for strong base (NaOH) and weak base (NH3 solution)

A
  • For both damp red litmus paper goes blue
  • Using a pH meter you will get a different reading NaOH = pH 13/14 and NH3 pH = 8-10
25
Q

Test for carbonate ions CO3(2-) or HCO3-

A
  • Add sample of hydrogen carbonate salt to acid and ensure the gas is bubbled into limewater
  • Effervescence and solid disappears
  • Turns cloudy if CO2 given off
26
Q

Test for sulfates

A
  • Dissolve sulfate salt in dilute HNO3 and add few cm3 of barium chloride
  • White ppt forms = BaSO4
27
Q

KCL, KBr and KI with conc sulfuric acid

A
  • KCl effervescence
  • KBr effervescence and brown gas produced, solution turns deep brown
  • KI solution goes deep brown immediately and brown gas produced
28
Q

Paper test for KCl

A

Damp litmus paper turns red
