Q

Describe the method for testing for group 2 metal ions

A
  • add metal chloride solution to test tube
  • add sodium hydroxide solution until in excess and swirl (ammonium solution or sulfuric acid can be used instead)
  • observe result

Q

Describe the method for testing for ammonium ions

A
  • 10 drops of solution containing ammonium ions
  • 10 drops of NaOH
  • swirl to mix
  • heat in water bath above bunsen
  • place red litmus paper near fumes
  • ammonia gas turns it blue (positive result)
28
Q

Describe the method to test for halide ions

A
  • add a small amount of nitric acid to the sample
  • add a small amount of silver nitrate to the sample too
29
Q

Describe the result you would see for chlorine ions after silver nitrate test

A

white precipitate that dissolves in dilute ammonia

30
Q

Describe the result you would see for bromine ions after silver nitrate test

A

cream precipitate that dissolves in conc ammonia

31
Q

Describe the result you would see for iodine ions after silver nitrate test

A

yellow precipitate that doesn’t dissolve in any conc of ammonia

32
Q

Describe how you would test for hydroxide ions

A
  • red litmus turns blue
  • pH using universal indicator is alkaline
33
Q

Describe the method for testing for carbonate ions

A
  • dilute HCl in test tube
  • equal volume of sodium carbonate
  • attach a bung with a delivery tube and put the delivery tube into a new test tube containing limewater
  • carbonate ions and hydrogen ions react to make carbon dioxide which turns limewater milky
34
Q

Describe how you would test for sulphate ions

A
  • acidify sample with dilute HCl
  • add a few drops of aqueous barium chloride
  • white precipitate forms if sulphate ions are present
