How do you test for solubility in water?
Add a few spatula measures of solid to a test tube of deionised water and shake to mix.

If solid dissolves to form a colourless solution then?
The solid is soluble in water. May be a group 1,2, aluminium, zinc or ammonium compound

How do you test for halide ions using silver nitrate solution?
Dissolve a spatula of the solid sample in dilute nitric acid and add a few cm of silver nitate solution; Add dilute/concentrated ammonia solution

How do you know if a chloride ion is present? (Halide experiment)
A white precipitate will appear which is both soluble in dilute and concentrated ammonia solution to form a colourless solution
14 of 21
How do you know if a bromide ion is present? (Halide experiment)
A cream precipitate appears which is not soluble in dilute ammonia solution but is soluble in concentrated ammonia solution to form a colourless solution.
15 of 21
What is the name of the precipitate in the reaction between chloride ions and ammonia solution?
AgCl
16 of 21
How do you know if an Iodide ion is present? (Halide experiment)
A yellow precipitate appears which is not soluble in either dilute or concentrated ammonia solution.

How do you test for sulphate ions using barium chloride solution?
Dissolve a spatula measure of the solid sample in dilute nitric acid (or hydrochloric acid) and add a few cm of barium chloride solution.
18 of 21
How do you know if sulfate ions are present?
If a white precipitate forms

What is the name of the white precipitate formed in the reaction between sulphate ions and barium chloride solution?
BaSO
