How would you carry out a flame test?
Dip a piece of nichrome wire in hydrochloric acid and then heat it. Dip the wire in the solution and then put it in the bunsen flame.

Which colour would Lithium be?
Crimson
2 of 46
Which colour would Sodium be?
Yellow
3 of 46
Which colour would Potassium be?
Lilac

Which colour would Calcium be?
Brick red

Which colour would Barium be?
Green
6 of 46
What would you do to test an unknown solution with positive ions in it?
You'd add sodium hydroxide to form a precipitate
7 of 46
Which coloured precipitate would Iron (3) be?
Brown
8 of 46
Which coloured precipitate would Iron (2) be?
Green
9 of 46
Which coloured precipitate would Copper be?
Blue
10 of 46
Which 3 positive ions form white precipitates?
Aluminium, Magnesium, Calcium
11 of 46
If you add an excess of sodium hydroxide which ions are present?
Aluminium
12 of 46
If the precipitate does not dissolve, then either magnesium or calcium ions are present. How do you distinguish between the two?
Do a flame test. If its red than calcium ions are present. If there is no colour than magnesium ions are present.
13 of 46
How would you test for a carbonate?
Add dilute acid
14 of 46
What will happen to it if it is a carbonate?
It will fizz (the fizz is the release of carbon dioxide)
15 of 46
How do you test for carbon dioxide?
Add the carbon dioxide produced by the carbonate to limewater. If present than the limewater will turn cloudy
16 of 46
How do you test for Halides?
Add dilute nitric acid. Then add silver nitrate solution and a precipitate is formed.
17 of 46
Why is nitric acid used?
It won't produce a precipitate with silver nitrate solution. The other acids will.

What colour is the precipitate for silver chloride?
White
19 of 46
What colour is the precipitate for silver bromide?
Cream
20 of 46
What colour is the precipitate for silver iodide?
Yellow
21 of 46
How do you test for sulfates?
Add dilute hydrochloric acid. Add barium chloride solution. A white precipitate is formed.
22 of 46
What do all organic compounds contain?
Carbon
23 of 46
What are alchols used for?
Alcholic drinks, solvents (aftershave, perfume), Fuels (biofuel)
24 of 46
What is the functional group for alchols?
-OH
25 of 46
Name the 3 ethanols.
Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol
26 of 46
What is the general formula for alchols?
CnH2n+1OH
27 of 46
Alchols dissolve in water...
..to form a neutral solution
28 of 46
What do alcohols produce when reacted with sodium?
Hydrogen
29 of 46
Alchols burn in air which releases...
..carbon dioxide + water
30 of 46
How can you turn ethanol into ethanoic acid?
Oxidise it
31 of 46
What oxidises the ethanol?
Oxidising agents or microbes
32 of 46
Why does wine taste funny after being left open?
The ethanol becomes oxidised into ethanoic acid
33 of 46
What is the functional group of carboxylic acids?
-COOH (the first CO is a double bond)
34 of 46
Methanoic acid =
HCOOH
35 of 46
Ethanoic acid =
CH3COOH
36 of 46
Propanoic acid =
CH3CH2COOH
37 of 46
Carboxylic acids dissolve in water to produce...
..acidic solutions
38 of 46
What do they produce when reacted with a carbonate?
Carbon dioxide
39 of 46
Why are carboxylic acids known as weak acids?
They don't ionisise (disocciate) fully due to the reactions being reversible
40 of 46
How are Esters created?
When alcohols react with carboxylic acids in the presence of an acd catalysti
41 of 46
What is the functional group for Esters?
-COO
42 of 46
What is the general formula for an Ester?
CnHn+1OOH
43 of 46
Esters are used in perfumes, fragrances and as food flavourings. Why is this?
They have distinctive smells and tastes (fruity)
44 of 46
They are volatile. What does this mean?
They easily evaporate
45 of 46
ethanoic acid + ethanol =
ethyl ethanoate + water
