17
Q

how is bubbling caused in tests for carbonate ions

A

bubbling in dilute acid is caused by co2
use limewater to confirm it’s CO2 -it’ll turn cloudy white

18
Q

test for sulfate ions

A

they react with barium ions to form insoluble white barium sulfate

19
Q

how to test for sulfate ions

A
  1. add few drops of dilute HCl to sample
  2. add few drops of dilute barium chloride
  3. white precipitate forms if sulfate ions are present
20
Q

precipitate colour for chloride (halide ion test)

A

white

21
Q

precipitate colour for bromide (halide ion test)

A

cream

22
Q

precipitate colour for iodide (halide ion test)

A

yellow

23
Q

what does flame emission spectroscopy do

A

identify metal ions
determines concentration of metal ions in dilute solutions

24
Q

what are metal hydroxide tests

A

-dilute sodium hydroxide used to test for metal ions
-metal ions form insoluble hydroxides-precipitates

25
Q

reaction for testing for copper ions

A

copper sulfate+dilute sodium hydroxide->sodium sulfate+copper hydroxide
-blue precipitate

26
Q

what happens if excess sodium hydroxide solution is added to aluminium hydroxide

A

dissolves to form a colourless solution

27
Q

what happens if excess sodium hydroxide solution is added to calcium hydroxide

A

precipitate is unchanged- stays white

28
Q

what happens if excess sodium hydroxide solution is added to magnesium hydroxide

A

precipitate is unchanged- stays white

29
Q

how to test for carbonate ions

A
  • use any acid to add to sample
30
Q

how to test for halide ions

A

-add nitric acid
-add silver nitrate
