Q

How could you distinguish between two solutions containing aluminium ions and calcium ions

A

Add excess sodium hydroxide
Both will form white precipitate initially
Precipitate formed from aluminium ions will re dissolve to form a colourless solution

Q

How can you test for carbonate ions

A

Add a few drops HCL to sample
Connect this test tube to a test tube of limewater
If carbonate ions present they will react with acid to produce CO2 which will turn limewater cloudy when it’s bubbled through limewater

Q

How can you test for sulfate ions

A

Add HCL to remove any CO3-2 ions as they will obscure result
Add a couple of drops of barium chloride
If sulfate ions are present a white precipitate of barium sulfate will form
