Positive Ions

What is the test for Aluminium Ions? 

11 of 32

Add sodium hydroxide and a white precipitate is formed. Aluminium hydroxide dissolves when excess sodium hydroxide is added

Positive Ions

What is the test for iron (II)

19 of 32

Add sodium hydroxide and Iron (II) hydroxide precipitate is green and slowly turns brown

Positive Ions

What is the test for Iron (III)?

21 of 32

Add sodium hydroxide and iron (III) hydroxide precipitate is reddish brown

Positive Ions

What is the test for Ammonium ions?

23 of 32

Ammonium ions react with sodium hydroxide to form ammonia, if the solution is heated the gas given off turns red litmus blue

Test for Negative Ions

What is the test for carbonate ions?

25 of 32

Add dilute hydrochloric acid and the gas given off will turn limewater milky

Test for Negative Ions

What is the test for sulfate ions? 

29 of 32

Add dilute hydrochloric acid, then barium chloride solution. Gives white precipitate

30 of 32

Test for Negative Ions

What is the test for nitrate ions?

31 of 32

Add aluminium powder then sodium hydroxide solution. Warm gently and gas will turn red litmus blue, shows ammonia was produced and nitrate ions were present
