Test for ions and gases Flashcards
Lithium
flame test wire in roaring Bunsen flame with compound on –> red flame
Ammonia
add aqueous solution sodium hydroxide to aqueous metal salt –> damp red litmus goes blue
Sulphate ions
add dilute hydrochloric acid followed by a few drops of barium chloride solution –> white precipitate
Chlorine
damp litmus paper –> litmus paper turns white
Iron (II) ions
add aqueous sodium hydroxide to aqueous metal salt –> green precipitate
Potassium
flame test wire in roaring Bunsen flame with compound on –> purple flame
Iodide ions
add dilute nitric acid followed by silver nitrate solution –> yellow precipitate
Iron (III) ions
add aqueous sodium hydroxide to aqueous metal salt –> brown precipitate
Sodium
flame test wire in roaring Bunsen flame with compound on –> yellow flame
