What ions can be tested for?
Anions, cations~ carbonates, halides, sulfates
1 of 12
What are the two ways to test for anions?
Flame test, sodium hydroxide
2 of 12
What could the results of the flame test be? (metal + colour)
Lithium = crimson, calcium = red, pottassium = lilac, barium = green, sodium = yellow
3 of 12
What could the results be from sodium hydroxide? (metal + colour precipitate)
Copper II = blue, Iron II = green, Iron III = brown, Aluminium&Magnesium&Calcium = white
4 of 12
What will happen if excess sodium hydroxide is added? (only to white precipitates)
Aluminium = white precipitate disolves, Magnesium&Calcium = no change
5 of 12
Describe the test for cations~carbonates?
Add dilute acid -> carbon dioxide+water produces, Put gas given off through limewater
6 of 12
What will be the result of the cations~carbonates test be if they were present?
White preciptate which turns limewater cloudy
7 of 12
What ions does the halide test test for?
Chorides, Bromides, Iodides
8 of 12
Describe the halides test?
Add nitric acid, Add silver nitrate
9 of 12
What could the results of the halides test be?
Chlorides = white, Bromides = cream, Iodides = yellow
10 of 12
Describe the sulphates test?
Add hydrochloric acid, Add barium chloride
11 of 12
What would the result of the sulphates test be if they were present?
White precipitate
