Testing for other + ions which don't have flame colour Flashcards
1
Q
Which + ions can we use another test for
A
Copper
Calcium
aluminium
magnesium
iron 2
iron 3
2
Q
how do we test for these ions
A
we add hydroxide solution to the metal ions until a change occurs
3
Q
What are the results
A
the transition metal ions produced colourful precipitates
Cu2+ - Blue precipitate
Fe2+ - Green precipitate
Fe3+ - brown precipitate
the others produced:
Al3+ - white precipitate
Mg2+ - white precipitate
Ca2+ - white precipitate
4
Q
what is a precipitate
A
solution —> solid form
5
Q
what happened if you added excess hydroxide to aluminium
A
white precipitate dissolves
6
Q
what happens when a hydroxide is added to the metal ions
A
they react to form a solid metal hydroxide
