Y12 test tube tests Flashcards
how do you est for alkene
Bromine water
how do you test for an alkene
Bromine water
what is observed when an alkene is added to Bromine water
the Bromine water changed from orange to colorless
what does sodium carbonate test for
acids
what is observed when sodium carbonate is added to an acid
effervescence (CO2 gas is released)
what is the observed when acidified potassium dichromate is added to a secondary alcohol
the dichromate is reduces changing from orange to green
what is observed when acidified potassium dichromate is added to an aldehyde
the dichromate is reduces changing from orange to green
what is observed when acidified potassium dichromate is added to a tertiary alcohol
no changes (tertiary alcohols can not be oxidised)
what is observed when acidified potassium dichromate is added to a ketone
no changes (ketone can not be oxidised by potassium dichromate)
what is observed when acidified potassium dichromate is added to a carboxylic acid
no changes (carboxylic acids can not be oxidised by potassium dichromate)
Tollens’s reagent is a test for which functional group
Aldehyde
what happens to an aldehyde when it is tested using Tollen’s reagent
the aldehyde is oxidised to a carboxylic acid
what is observed when Tollen’s reagent is added to a ketone
No visible change
what reagent is used to test for ammonium ions
heat with NaOH
what is observed when ammonium (NH4+) ions are heated with NaOH
has released turns damp red litmus paper blue
what is Fehlings solution a test for
Aldehydes
what is the test for sulfate ions (SO4 2-)
Acidified Barium Chloride
what is observed when sulfuric acid is added to BaCl
white precipitate (BaSO4)
wat is the ionic equation for the reaction of Na2SO4 with BaCl2
Ba2+ (aq) + SO4 2- (aq) –> BaSO4(s)
how do you test for magnesium ions
add NaOH this forms Mg(OH)2 which s a white precipitate
how do you test for hydroxide ions
Add Mg(NO3)2 this forms Mg(Oh)2 which is a white precipitate
what would you expect to see when sodium carbonate is added to HCl
effervescence
what would tou expect to see when barium carbonate (BaCO3) is added to sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
Effervescence and white precipitate
