Y12 Test Tube Tests - No Alcohols Flashcards
what does sodium carbonate test for
acids
what is observed when sodium carbonate is added to an acid
Effervescence (CO2 has is released)
what is the simple ionic equation for the reaction between sodium carbonate (Na2Co
O3) and any acids
CO3 2- + H+ –> CO2 + H2O
what reagent is used to test for ammonium ions
NaOH
what is observed when ammonium (NH4+) ions are heated with NaOH
gas released turns damp red litmus paper blue
what gas is released when ammonium ions are warmed with NaOH
ammonia has (NH3)
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)
what 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 is a white precipitate
what would you expect to see wen sodium carbonate is added to HCl
effervescence
what would you expect to see when barium carbonate (BaCO3) is added to sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
effervescence and white precipitate
what is the ionic equation for the reaction between ammonium bromide (NH4Br) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
NH4 + OH- –> NH3 + H2O
What is observed when this reaction occurs
Ag+ (aq) + F- (aq) –> AgF(aq)
colourless solution
what is observed when this reaction occurs
Ag+ (aq) + Br- (aq) –> AgBr(aq)
Cream precipitate
what is observed when this reaction occurs
Ag+ (aq) + I- (aq) –> AgI(aq)
yellow precipitate
what is the test for halide ions
Acidified silver nitrate (AgNO3)
what is observed when dilute ammonia (NH3) is added t AgCl
white precipitate dissolves
what is observed when dilute ammonia (NH3) is added to AgBr
Cream precipitate remains
what is observed when concentrated ammonia (NH3) is added to AgI
Yellow precipitate remains
what is the equation for the reaction between AgCl and dilute NH3(aq)
AgCl + 2NH3 –> Ag(NH3)2+ + Cl-
what is the equation for the reaction between AgBr and Concentrated NH3(aq)
AgBr + 2NH3 –> Ag(NH3)2+ + Br-
wat is the simplest ionic equation for the reaction when ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is heated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
NH4+ + OH- –> NH3 + H2O
