Q

What happens in sodium hydroxide tests?

A

When we react sodium hydroxide with a salt, an insoluble metal hydroxide forms as a precipitate.
By identifying the metal hydroxide, this lets us see what metal was in the salt.

Q

How do you test for oxygen?

A

Relights a glowing splint

21
Q

How do you test for hydrogen?

A

Produces a squeaky pop sound when held by lit splint

22
Q

How do you test for carbon dioxide?

A

Bubble through limewater - turns milky

23
Q

How do you test for chlorine gas?

A

Will bleach damp blue litmus paper

24
Q

How do you test for alkenes?

A

Shake with bromine water - alkenes only show colour change from brown/orange to colourless

25
Q

How do you test for alcohols?

A

Heat with acidified potassium dichromate solution - alcohols give colour change from ORANGE to GREEN

26
Q

How does sodium react with water?

A

It fizzes rapidly, moves around and melts to form a ball on the surface of the water

27
Q

How does lithium react with water?

A

Fizzes steadily and floats, becoming smaller until it eventually disappears

28
Q

Which metals react with water and what do they produce?

A

Potassium
Sodium
Lithium
Form metal hydroxides and hydrogen gas

29
Q

How does potassium react with water?
