A/S Testing for ions

suitable for A/S paper 3b

AB
Formula of calcium ion isCa(2+)
Formula of barium ion isBa(2+)
sodium ions are shownNa(+)
strontium ions are shownSr(2+)
Aluminium ions are shownAl(3+)
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 areSO4(2-)
Carbonate ions areCO3(2-)
Hydrogen carbonate ions areHCO3(-)
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 AgNO(3) & 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 CO3(2-) and itfizzes
Acid & CO3(2-)it fizzes becausecarbon dioxide is given off
A test for carbon dioxideit turns limewater milky (a white ppt)
Barium chloride with a SO4(2-)>a white ppt forms
White ppt when barium chloride with a SO4(2-) 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
CO3(2-)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 halide form a ppt butthey do not dissolve when HNO3 is added
Add NaOH soln to Ca(2+) and you get awhite ppt
Add NaOH soln to Mg(2+) and you get awhite ppt
Add NaOH soln to Sr(2+) and you get awhite ppt
Add NaOH soln to K(+) and you get ano ppt
Acid & HCO3(-)it fizzes becauseCarbon dioxide is given off
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
Acid & SO3(2-) and warm; you getsulphur dioxide given off
you can show sulphur dioxide is formed because itturns damp potassium dichromate paper orange to green
Add MgSO4 solution to a carbonate in solution and you geta white ppt
Add MgSO4 solution to a hydrogen carbonate in solution and you getno ppt but you will if it boiled
AgNO3 & HNO3 gives a white ppt witha chloride
AgNO3 + HNO3 gives a cream ppt witha bromide
AgNO3 + HNO3 gives a yellow pptan iodide
BaCl2 gives a white ppt with a sulphite but ...It dissolves in HCl giving SO2
CO3(2-) gives a ppt with AgNO3 solnbut it dissolves in HNO3
If you add NH3(aq) to silver chlorideit dissolves forming a colourless solution
If you add NH3(aq) to AgIit does not dissolve
When testing with BaCl2 for a sulphate you use HCl not H2SO4 becauseH2SO4 is a sulphate & gives a white ppt on its own with BaCl2
Flame colour of Na(+) isyellow
Flame colour of K(+) islilac
Flame colour of Li(+) iscrimson
Flame colour of Ba(2+) isgreen
Flame colour of Mg(2+) isno flame colour
Flame colour of Ca(2+) isorange red (sometimes called brick red)
Flame colour of Sr(2+) isred
