2. Barium chloride solution

26
Q

Describe the test for nitrate ions

A
  1. Add sodium hydroxide solution and warm
  2. Add aluminum powder
  3. Test any gas produced with damp red litmus paper
27
Q

Result of test for chloride ions

A

White precipitate (of AgCl)

28
Q

Result of test for bromide ions

A

Cream precipitate (of AgBr)

29
Q

Result of test for iodide ions

A

Yellow precipitate (of AgI)

30
Q

Result of test for sulfate ions

A

White precipitate (of BaSO4)

31
Q

Result of test for nitrate ions

A

Red litmus paper goes blue (ammonia gas produced)

32
Q

Test for carbonates (CO32-)

A
  1. Add dilute HCl (hydrochloric acid)

2. Bubble gas through limewater

33
Q

Result of test for carbonates (CO32-)

A
  • effervescence (as CO2 is produced)

- Limewater turns cloudy

34
Q

Most metal sulphates are soluble, except for ___

A

Barium Sulphate

35
Q

Test for sulphates

A

Add small amount of HCl (hydrochloric acid)

Add Barium Chloride solution

36
Q

Results of test for sulphates

A
  • white precipitate of BaSO4 formed
37
Q

Test for nitrate ions

A
  1. Add sodium hydroxide and warm it.
  2. Reduce it with aluminum powder to produce ammonium ions.
  3. The ammonium ions then react with the hydroxide to
    produce ammonia gas.
  4. Test the ammonia gas with damp red litmus paper. As
    ammonia is basic it turns blue.
38
Q

Test for hydrogen gas (H2)

A

Hydrogen ignites with oxygen and creates a ‘squeaky pop’ sound

39
Q

Test for oxygen gas (O2)

A

Put in a glowing splint

40
Q

Method of squeaky pop test

A

Lit splint placed in mouth of test tube, a pop is heard.

41
Q

Result for test of oxygen gas (O2)

A

Splint relights if the test tube contains oxygen

gas.

42
Q

A

Pass carbon dioxide gas through limewater (calcium

hydroxide, Ca(OH)2)

44
Q

Result of test for carbon dioxide (CO2)

A

Limewater goes cloudy

45
Q
