Q

How to measure Retention Factor

A

Distance moved by sample/distance moved by solvent

23
Q

how to test for hydrogen

A

squeaky pop

24
Q

how to test for oxygen

A

relight blow out splint

25
Q

how to test for chlorine

A

litness paper bleaches

26
Q

metal + acid makes

A

metal salt + hydrogen

27
Q

hydrogen peroxide reacted by magnesium oxide makes

A

water + oxygen

28
Q

metal carbonate + acid makes

A

metal salt + water + carbon dioxide

29
Q

what is the flame test

A

test for various metal ions by heating your substance and seeing whether it burns with a distinctive colour flame

30
Q

flame color of Lithium

A

crimsom

31
Q

flame color of Sodium

A

yellow

32
Q

flame color of Potassium

A

lilac

33
Q

flame color of Calcium

A

orange-red

34
Q

flame color of Copper

A

green

35
Q

flame test proccess

A

clean a wire loop by dipping it in a dilute HCL and hold it over a blue flame

Dip the loop into the sample and record the color of the flame

You use the color to identify the ions

It only works on samples that contain a single metal ion

36
Q

what is the colored precipitate test

A

adding a few drops of sodium hydroxide solution to a solution of the mystery compound to form a insoluble hydroxide

37
Q

why does the colored precipitate test work

A

many metal hydroxides are insoluble and precipitate out of solution when formed.

38
Q

color of copper precipitate in the colored precipitate test

A

blue

39
Q

color of Iron 2 plus precipitate in the colored precipitate test

A

green

40
Q

color of iron 3 plus precipitate in the colored precipitate test

A

brown

41
Q

color of aluminium precipitate in the colored precipitate test

A

white

42
Q

color of magnesium precipitate in the colored precipitate test

A

white

43
Q

ionic equation of the colored precipitate test on calcium

A

Ca 2 plus + 2OH minus = Ca(OH)2

44
Q

ionic equation of the colored precipitate test on calcium

A

Ca 2 plus + 2OH minus = Ca(OH)2

45
Q

how do you know if sulfate ions are produced

A

white precipitate

46
Q

how do you know if carbonate ions are produced

A

CO2 produced/limewater turns cloudy

47
Q

how do you know if halide ions are present for
Iodide
Bromide
Chloride

A

yellow
cream
white

48
Q

what and how does flame emission spectroscopy work

A

finds out what ions are present from there wavelengths

a sample is placed in a flame. As the ions heat up their electrons become excited. When the electrons drop back to their original levels they transfer light as energy. This passes through a spectroscope which can detect different wavelengths of light to produce a line spectrum

49
Q

how does flame emission spectroscopy determine the ions present

A

combinations of wavelength emitted by an ion depends on it’s charge and it’s electron arrangement.
Each ion has a different wavelength.

50
Q

what does the intensity of flame emission spectroscopy show

A

indicates the concentration of that ion

51
Q

flame emission spectroscopy for mixtures what does it show

A

can be used to show more than one ion present

52
Q

advantages of instrumental analysis

A
time saving
more accurate
sensitive
fast
small
53
Q

disadvantages of instrumental analysis

A

expensive

needs training

54
Q

disadvantage of non instrumental

A

large
less accurate
less sensitive
larger sample needed
