Q

How do you test for carbonates?

A

Test for carbon dioxide - you can test to see if a gas is carbon dioxide by bubbling it through limewater
If it’s lime water: the limewater goes cloudy
You can use this test for carbonate ions since carbonates react with dilute acid to form carbon dioxide

17
Q

How do you test for Halide ions? (Chloride, bromide and iodide)

A

Add dilute nitric acid followed by silver nitrate solution

18
Q

Testing for negative ions: What precipitate does chloride give?

A

White Percipitate of Silver chloride

19
Q

Testing for negative ions: what precipitate does bromide give

A

A cream ppte of silver bromide

20
Q

Testing for negative ions: what ppte does iodide give

A

A yellow ppte of silver iodide

21
Q

How do you test for sulfate ions? (

A

Add dilute HCL followed by barium chloride solution

22
Q

Testing for negative ions: sulfate ions: what does a white ppte of barium sulfate mean?

A

The original compound was sulfate

23
Q

Testing for negative ions: what result does carbonate give?

A

Effervescence

24
Q

Testing for negative ions: what result does sulfate give?

A

White ppte

25
Q

Testing for negative ions: what result does nitrate give?

A

Moist red litmus paper placed in the mouth of the tube turns blue
