Precipitation with sodium hydroxide for Iron(II)
Green precipitate
Precipitation with sodium hydroxide for Iron(III)
Orange precipitate
Precipitation with sodium hydroxide for Copper(II)
Blue precipitate
Test for ammonia
Add sodium hydroxide then Damp red litmus paper turns blue
Test for carbonates
Add 1 cm³ of carbonate then add 1 cm³ of hydrochloric acid. If effervescence seen substance is a carbonate.
Test for sulphates
Add 1 cm³ of sulphate then add 1 cm³ of hydrochloric acid. If no effervescence add barium chloride then white precipitate formed.
Test for halides
Add Nitric acid to turn impurities into soluble salts. Then Add silver nitrate.
Colour of chloride with silver nitrate in nitric acid
White precipitate.
Colour of bromide with silver nitrate in nitric acid
Off-white precipitate.
Colour of iodide with silver nitrate in nitric acid
Pale yellow precipitate.
When making salts if the product is insoluble which method should you use?
Precipitation method.
- Soluble reactants
- Filter
- Wash to remove impurities
- Leave to dry
When making salts if product is soluble and reactants are insoluble which method should you use?
Excess base method.
- Measure out 25 cm³ of sulphuric acid.
- Add excess base
- Filter
- Evaporate water
When making salts if the product is soluble and reactants are soluble reactants which method should you use?
Titration method.
Empirical formula definition
The simplest ratio of each type of atoms in a compound.
Molecular formula definition
A chemical formula that gives the total number of atoms of each element in a molecule of a substance.
Enthalpy change
Some of enthalpies bonds broken - some of enthalpies bonds made.
If result is - then it is exothermic. If + then endothermic reaction
