How can we distinguish between the three metal hydroxides that produce a white precipitate?
Aluminium hydroxide dissolves in excess sodium hydroxide solution, magnesium hydroxide produces no colour in a flame test, calcium hydroxide produces a brick red colour in a flame test

How can we test for carbonate ions?
Add dilute hydrochloric acid to the substance to see if it fizzes. If it doe and the gas produced turns limewater cloudy, the substance contains carbonate ions

How can we test for halide ions?
Add dilute nitric acid and then silver nitrate solution

What colour precipitate do iodide ions produce?
Yellow

How can we test for sulfate ions?
Add dilute hydrochloric acid and then barium chloride solution. If a white precipitate forms, sulfate ions are present.
