TESTS Flashcards
How do you test for Halides?
Add Silver Nitrate
What are Halides?
Metal + Halogen(Group7 element) –> Metal Halide
E.g. (metal) Chloride/Bromide/Iodide (Cl-/Br-/I-)
What precipitate is formed when Silver Nitrate is added to Chloride?
Ag+ + Cl- –> AgCl(s) WHITE PRECIPITATE
What precipitate is formed when Silver Nitrate is added to Bromide?
Ag+ + Br- –> AgBr(s) CREME PRECIPITATE
What precipitate is formed when Silver Nitrate is added to Iodide?
Ag+ + I- –> AgI(s) YELLOW PRECIPITATE
How do you test for Transition Metal Ions?
Add Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)
What precipitate is formed when Sodium Hydroxide(NaOH) is added to Cu2+?
Cu2+ + 2OH- –> Cu(OH)2(s) BLUE PRECIPITATE
What precipitate is formed when Sodium Hydroxide(NaOH) is added to Fe2+?
Fe2+ + 2OH- –> Fe(OH)2(s) GREEN PRECIPITATE
What precipitate is formed when Sodium Hydroxide(NaOH) is added to Fe3+?
Fe3+ + 3OH- –> Fe(OH)3(s) ORANGE/BROWN PRECIPITATE
What is a transition metal?
Metals in the middle of the Periodic Table
How do you test for Sulphate ions?
Add Barium Chloride(BaCl2)
What precipitate is formed when Barium Chloride(BaCl2) is added to SO4 2-?
Ba2+ + SO4 2- –> BaSo4(s) WHITE PRECIPITATE
How do you test for Alkali Metals?
The Flame test
What colour flame is produced with Lithium(Li)?
RED
What colour flame is produced with Sodium(Na)?
ORANGE
What colour flame is produced with Potassium(K)?
PURPLE/LILAC
How do you test for Alkenes?
Add bromine water (Goes from Orange to colourless)
How do you test for Carbon Dioxide?
Bubble it through Limewater - If present it will turn the limewater cloudy
What is the equation for Complete combustion?
Hydrocarbon + Oxygen –> Carbon Dioxide + Water [+Energy]
