Give two ways to test for positive ions
Flame test or with sodium hydroxide solution
1 of 39
How should the bunsen flame be with the flame test?

2 of 39
What colour does sodium go in the flame test?
Yellow
3 of 39
What colour does barium go in the flame test?
Apple green

What colour does calcium go in a flame test?
Brick red
5 of 39
What colour does lithium go in the flame test?
Crimson
6 of 39
What colour does potassium go in a flame test?
Lilac
7 of 39
The hydroxides of metals with what charges are insoluble in water?
2+ and 3+
8 of 39
Which ions all form white precipitates when in hydroxide form?
Aluminium, magnesium and calcium
9 of 39
How can you tell which white precipitate is aluminium?
Will dissolve in excess sodium hydroxide
10 of 39
How can you distinguish between magnesium and calcium precipitates?
Flame test
11 of 39
What colour does magnesium turn in the flame test?
No colour
12 of 39
What colour is the copper hydroxide precipitate?
Blue
13 of 39
What colour is the iron(II) hydroxide precipitate?
Green
14 of 39
What colour is the iron(III) hydroxide precipitate?
Brown
15 of 39
How do you test for carbonate ions?
Add hydrochloric acid to see if it fizzes, it if does test the gas with limewater to see if it goes cloudy
16 of 39
How do you test for halide ions?
Add dilute nitric acid and then silver nitrate solution and see what colour the precipitate is
17 of 39
What colour is the precipitate of chloride ions?
White
18 of 39
What colour is the precipitate of bromide ions?
Cream
19 of 39
What colour is the precipitate of iodide ions?
Yellow
20 of 39
How do you test for sulfate ions?
Add dilute hydrochloric acid and barium chloride solution to see if white precipitate is formed
21 of 39
What is a mixture?
2 or more elements or compounds not chemically bonded together
22 of 39
What is filtration used for?
Separate an insoluble substance from a solvent with soluble substances in
23 of 39
What is crystallisation used for?
Separate a dissolved solid from a solution
24 of 39
What is distillation used for?
Separate mixtures of miscible liquids with different boiling points or collect the solvent
25 of 39
What are miscible liquids?
Liquids that dissolve in each other and do not form separate layers
26 of 39
What does paper chromatography analyse?
The artificial colours in food or dyes in inks
27 of 39
Why do colours move different distances in chromatography?
Depending on their solubility
28 of 39
How do you work out which substance is which from a chromatogram?
Compare with other chromatograms of known substances taken at the same temperature with the same solvent
29 of 39
Give some benefits of modern instrumental methods
Quicker, more sensitive, more accurate, tiny samples can be tested
30 of 39
What are some disadvantages of using modern instrumental methods?
Expensive, special training needed, results can only be interpreted by comparison of data
31 of 39
Why would you use gas chromatography?
Separate mixtures so they can be analysed and identified
32 of 39
How is a mixture carried through a column in gas chromatography?
By a carrier gas that helps it through a colum packed with solid particles
33 of 39
How can you record retention times?
The individual compounds travel at different speeds through the column and it records how much left the column in how long
34 of 39
How can you then identify compounds?
Compare to results for known compounds
35 of 39
What does a mass spectrometer do?
Quickly identifies individual compounds
36 of 39
How does a mass spectrometer work?
Matches the compounds against the mass spectra of known substances
37 of 39
Where is the molecular ion peak found?
Furthest peak on the right of the mass spectrum
38 of 39
What is the molecular ion peak?
Shows the relative molecular mass of a substance where the individual compound with a large peak corresponds to an ion with one electron removed
