Q

whats the process of chromatography and what does the movement depend on

A

solvent dissolves samples and carries them up the paper

movement depends on its attraction to the solvent and paper

Q

how does light emission spectroscopy work

A

light from the flame, reflected through concave mirror and then separated by a prism into individual lights which can determine the metal

18
Q

what are flame tests used for

A

to identify metal ions

19
Q

colours for a flame test

COPPER

A

GREEN

20
Q

colours for a flame test

CALCIUM

A

BRICK RED

21
Q

colours for a flame test

SODIUM

A

YELLOW

22
Q

colours for a flame test

POTASSIUM

A

LILAC

23
Q

colours for a flame test

LITHIUM

A

CRIMSON

24
Q

how’s does a flame test work

A
  • clean metal rod with HCL to get rid of any past metal ions
  • dip rod in solution of metal and place under flame
25
Q

what is the disadvantage of a flame test

A

if there is more then one metal ion present they can be masked to give inaccurate results

26
Q

what is the test for reacting carbonates

A

dilute HCL added to a carbonate would form carbon dioxide which can be tested with lime water

27
Q

general ionic equation for reacting carbonates

A

Ca 2+ + CO3 2- = CaCO3

28
Q

test for reacting sulphates

A

mixing HCL and barium chloride with mixture, if sulphate is present white precipitate is formed

29
Q

general ionic equation for reacting sulphates

A

Ba 2+ + SO4 2- = BaSO4

30
Q

test for reacting halides

A

mixing with dilute nitric acid and silver nitrate, if a hale is present a coloured precipitate would form

31
Q

general ionic equation for reacting halides
Where X is the halide

A

Ag + + X - = AgX

32
Q

when chlorine is present when reacting halides what colour is shown

A

white

33
Q

when Bromine is present when reacting halides what colour is shown

A

cream

34
Q

when Iodine is present when reacting halides what colour is shown

A

yellow

35
Q

whats the test for metal ions (not flame)

A

adding sodium hydroxide to form a coloured precipitate

36
Q

what colour precipitate does calcium go in a metal test

A

White

37
Q

what colour precipitate does copper (II) go in a metal test

A

Blue

38
Q

what colour precipitate foes does iron (II) go in a metal test

A

Green

39
Q

what colour precipitate does iron (III) go in a metal test

A

Brown

40
Q

what colour precipitate does Aluminium go in a metal test

A

White

41
Q

what colour precipitate does magnesium go in a metal test

A

White

42
Q

how do you differentiate from calcium, magnesium and aluminium in a test for metal ions

A

aluminium - dissolves when excess sodium hydroxide is added

calcium - brick red in flame test

magnesium - no colour change in flame test

43
Q

what is an example of an ionic equation for iron (II) and aluminium

A

Fe 2+ + 2OH 2- = Fe(OH)2

Al 2+ + 2OH 2- = Al(OH)2
