Test for ions Flashcards
How do you test for Magnesium ions?
excess NaOH - White ppt
Ca2+
excess NaOH - Slight white ppt
Ba2+
excess sulfuric acid - white ppt
Write the equation for the test for Mg2+. Ca2+. Ba2+
NH4+
Warm with NaOH and test gas with damp red litmus - turns blue
Write the equation for the test for NH4+
Ag+
Sodium chloride - white precipitate
Write the half equation for the test for Ag+
H+
Soluble carbonate or hydrogencarbonate - effervescence
Write the equation for the test for H+
CO32-
hydrochloric acid = effervescent
What is the equation for the test for carbonate ions
OH-
MgCl2 - white ppt OR NH4Cl and warm - test gas with damp red litmus - turns blue
What is the equation for the test of OH-
What is the reaction between halide ions and silver nitrates used for?
to discover which halide ion is present
