test Flashcards
Disproportionate
reaction in which single elements is oxidised and reduced simultaneously
hallide ions
identified in known solution by dissolving solution in nitric acid
then add silver nitrate solution
Ag+ (aq) + X- (aq) → AgX (s)
nitric acid
prev false positives from carbonate ions precipitating out with silver ions
hallide test
agcl WHITE precipitation
AGBR cream precipitation
AGI yellow pricipate
ammonia
follow up test
dilute followed up by conc ammonia to silver hallide
precipitation dissolves in dilute ammonia is a chloride
precipitation does not dissolve in dilute but dissolves in conc ammonia is a bromide
precipitation doesn’t dissolve in either is iodide
carbonate test
1cm3 dilute hcl to test tube
add = sodium carbonate to test tube
bung and delivery tube attached
carbonate present effervescence and c02 and white precipitation
sulfate
acidify sample with dilute ccl
few drops of aq barium chloride
present white precipitate
ammonia ions
reacting with warm aqueous sodium hydroxide forming ammonia gas
NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) → NH3 (g) + H2O (l)
Ammonia gas is produced.
Ammonia gas can be identified by its pungent smell or by turning red litmus paper blue
carbonate formula
CO32- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) → CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
CO2 (g) + Ca(OH)2 (aq) → CaCO3 (s) + H2O (l)
sulfate formula
Ba2+ (aq) + SO42- (aq) → BaSO4 (s)
