tests for the endings Flashcards
Ammonium
NaOH, gently heat, hold damp red litmus over Production of ammonia gas, litmus turns blue
Hydroxide
Red litmus paper / UI paper Turns blue
Carbonate
HCl, test gas with calcium hydroxide solution
(limewater)
Effervescence, CO2 gas produced, limewater
turns cloudy
Sulfate
HCl then barium chloride Production of white precipitate
Chloride (
aq) Nitric acid, then silver nitrate
Add dilute ammonia solution
Production of white precipitate
Precipitate dissolves
Iodide
(aq) Nitric acid, then silver nitrate
Add concentrated ammonia solution
Production of pale yellow precipitate
No visible change
Chloride
(solid) Add concentrated H2SO4
Test gas evolved with damp blue litmus paper
Effervescence
Litmus turns red (HCl produced)
hi
(solid) Add concentrated H2SO4
Test gas evolved with damp blue litmus paper
Effervescence
Litmus turns red (HCl produced)
Bromide
(solid) Add concentrated H2SO4 Test gas evolved with filter paper dipped in acidified potassium dichromate solution Effervescence, brown gas produced (Br2), solution turns red/brown
Iodide
(solid) Add concentrated H2SO4 Test gas evolved with filter paper dipped in lead nitrate solution Brown gas produced (Br2), solution turns red/brown Paper turns black
