1
New cards
What is used to test for carbonates?
Hydrochloric acid
2
New cards
How do you know if the test result is positive for carbonates?
Bubbles of CO2 released- tested with limewater
3
New cards
How do you test for sulphates?
Add dilute HCl and barium chloride solution
4
New cards
How do you know if the test result is positive for sulphates?
White precipitate formed of barium sulphate
5
New cards
How do you test for halides?
Add nitric acid and then silver nitrate
6
New cards
Which halide dissolves in dilute and conc NH3?
Chloride
7
New cards
Which halide is not soluble in dilute NH3, but in conc NH3?
Bromide
8
New cards
How do you know if the test result is positive for halides?
Precipitate forms- White (chloride), cream (bromide), yellow (iodide)
9
New cards
What do you use to test for ammonium compounds?
Damp red litmus and sodium hydroxide for ammonium solutions
10
New cards
How do you know if the test result is positive for ammonium compounds?
Damp red litmus goes blue , after heating compound to gaseous form
11
New cards
What is the order for the ion tests?
Carbonates, Sulphates and halides
12
New cards
What do you use to test for an aldehyde?
Tollens
13
New cards
What do you use to test for a carbonyl group?
2,4 DNP
14
New cards
What do you use to test for a carboxylic acid?
PCl5 or litmus or NaCO3
15
New cards
What do you use to test for phenol?
NaOH and then carbonate or FeCL3
16
New cards
What do you use to test for ammonium ion?
cold NaOH
17
New cards
What do you use to test for an amine?
Add universal indicator, and a blue or purple solution should form
18
New cards
How do you test for a carboxylic acid?
Add Na2CO3 which will produce CO2. Then add limewater and a cloudy solution should be present
19
New cards
How do you test for an acyl chloride?
Add water. White steamy fumes will be given off
20
New cards
If you were blind, how would you test for an alcohol?
Add COOH and H2SO4 catalyst- this produces an ester which will have a fruity smell
21
New cards
How do you test for haloalkanes?
Add NaOH and then add (Ag(NO3)2)2+ and HNO3 acid to confirm precipitate
22
New cards
Why is HCL added first?
To remove any carbonates present which would also form a precipitate.
23
New cards
Give ionic equation for sulphate ion test
Ba2+ (aq) + SO42- (aq) → BaSO4 (s)
24
New cards
What happens when bubble CO2 in limewater
turn cloudy as calcium carbonate is produced
