AQA C3 Anions test

Just a quiz to see if you understand how to test for anions.

?

1. How do you test for Chloride ions?

  • Dissolve in dilute nitric acid, then a white precipitate forms with silver nitrate solution. (The precipitate dissolves in dilute ammonia solution.)
  • Dissolve in dilute nitric acid, then a cream precipitate forms with silver nitrate solution. (The precipitate is insoluble in dilute ammonia solution, but will dissolve in concentrated ammonia solution)
  • Dissolve in dilute nitric acid, then a pale yellow precipitate forms with silver nitrate solution. (The precipitate is insoluble in dilute and concentrated ammonia solution)

  • Add dilute acid, then pass the carbon dioxide gas through limewater, which turns milky (cloudy).

4. How do you test for Sulfate ions?

  • Dissolve in dilute nitric acid, then a white precipitate forms with silver nitrate solution. (The precipitate dissolves in dilute ammonia solution.)
  • Dissolve in dilute nitric acid, then a white precipitate forms with barium chloride solution.
  • Add sodium hydroxide solution and warm with powdered aluminium, then test the gas given off (ammonia) with damp red litmus paper, which turns blue.
