GCSE Testing for ions

suitable for GCSE Triple Sci Chemistry & A/S introduction.

AB
Formula of calcium ion isCa2+
Formula of copper ion isCu2+
Iron III ions are shownFe3+
Iron II ions are shownFe2+
Aluminium ions are shownAl3+
Ammonium ions are shownNH4+
Potassium ions are shownK+
Sodium ions are shownNa+
Hydroxide ions areOH-
Chloride ions areCl-
Bromide ions areBr-
Iodide ions areI-
Sulphate ions areSO42-
Carbonate ions areCO32-
Barium ions areBa2+
Silver ions areAg+
Silver nitrate is used as a test forhalide ions (chloride, bromide & iodide)
With AgNO3 & Cl- you geta white ppt
With AgNO3 & Br- you geta cream ppt
With AgNO3 & I- you geta yellow ppt
The white ppt you get with AgNO3 & Cl-is called silver chloride
The cream ppt you get with AgNO3 & Cl-is called silver bromide
The yellow ppt you get with AgNO3 & I-is called silver iodide
acids contain ....ionsH+
Add an acid to a CO32- and itfizzes
Acid & CO32-(2-) it fizzes becausecarbon dioxide is given off
A test for carbon dioxideit turns limewater milky (a white ppt)
Barium chloride with a SO42-a white ppt forms
White ppt when barium chloride with a SO42- is...barium sulphate
When you add BaCl2 you must also adddilute HCl
A sulphate forms a white ppt with BaCl2 butit does not dissolve when HCl is added
CO32-also forms a white ppt with BaCl2 butit DISSOLVES when HCl is added
When you add AgNO3 solution you should always adddilute HNO3 as well
With AgNO3 solution halides form a ppt butit does not dissolve when HNO3 is added
Add NaOH soln to Fe3+ and you get abrown ppt
Add NaOH soln to Fe2+ and you get agreen ppt
Add NaOH soln to Cu2+ and you get ablue ppt
Add NaOH soln to Ca2+ and you get awhite ppt
Add NaOH soln to Al3+ and you get aa white ppt & it dissolves in excees NaOH
Add NaOH to NH4+ andthere's no ppt but on warming it gives an alkaline gas
The alkaline gas you get when you add NaOH to NH4+ and warm is calledammonia
NaOH soln gives a blue ppt withCu2+
NaOH soln gives a green ppt withFe2+
NaOH soln gives a brown ppt withFe3+
NaOH soln gives no ppt withNH4+ and NH3 on heating
AgNO3 & Cl- + HNO3 gives a white ppt withCl-
AgNO3 + HNO3 gives a cream ppt withBr-
AgNO3 + HNO3 gives a yellow pptI-
an acid fizzes when added to aCO32-
CO32- gives a ppt with AgNO3 solnbut it dissolves in HNO3
