42 Terms

1

carbonates test

By adding an acid (HCl) and testing the gas produced for CO2

New cards
2

Products of a reaction between a carbonate and an acid

A salt, water, carbon dioxide

New cards
3

CO2 test

Lime water turns from clear to milky

New cards
4

What is a precipitate

an insoluble solid substance formed from a solution

New cards
5

What is the characteristic of acidic solutions

They are hydrogen ions/ proton donors

New cards
6

What is the characteristic of basic solutions

They are hydroxide (OH-) donors/ can absorb Hydrogen ions

New cards
7

Name the main four pH indicators

  • Universal indicator

  • Litmus paper

  • Phenolphethalein

  • Methyl orange

New cards
8

How does litmus paper indicator work

-Acidic solutions turn orange

-Neutral solutions turn purple

-Alkaline solutions turn blue

It can not show the strength of these solutions

New cards
9

How does Phenolphthalein indicator work

Turns from colourless in acids and neutrals to bright pink in alkalis

New cards
10

How does Methyl orange indicator work

Turns from red in acids to yellow in alkalis

New cards
11

Products of a reaction between a metal and an acid

Salt + Hydrogen

New cards
12

What is the test for sulfates?

  • Nitric acid + Barium Chloride solution, BaCl2 (Can be any acid other than sulphuric).

  • A positive test forms a white precipitate

New cards
13

Why is nitric acid added to the test for sulfates and halides?

To react with traces of carbonate or sulfide ions so that they may interfere with the results

New cards
14

What are halides

Ions of halogens

New cards
15

What is the test for halides

Nitric acid + silver nitrate

New cards
16

What is the result of a positive chloride test

A white precipitate (Silver chloride, AgCl)

New cards
17

What is the result of a positive bromide test

A cream precipitate (Silver bromide, AgBr)

New cards
18

What is the result of a positive Iodine test

A yellow precipitate (Silver Iodide, AgI)

New cards
19

What reactants create soluble salts

An acid + an insoluble base

New cards
20

What is the difference between a base and an alkaline

An alkaline is a base which can be disolved in water

New cards
21

Describe the procedure of forming a soluble salt

  • The acid is heated

  • The insoluble base is added to the acid in excess

  • The solution is filtered to remove excess solid

  • The solution is slowly heated to evaporate some of the water

  • The solution is left to cool and the salt crystalises

  • Filter of the solid crytals and let them dry

New cards
22

Give an example reaction equation which would produce a soluble salt

Copper oxide (CuO) + Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts to form Copper sulfate (CuSO4) + water (H2O)

New cards
23

What is the test for water

Dehydrated copper sulfate crytals turn from white to blue in the presence of water

New cards
24

What is the positive test for Lithium ions (Li+)

Red flames

New cards
25

What is the positive test for Sodium ions (Na+)

Yellow flames

New cards
26

What is the positive test for Potassium ions (K+)

Lilac flames

New cards
27

What is the positive test for Calcium ions (Ca2+)

Orange-red flames

New cards
28

What is the positive test for Copper ions (Cu2+)

Blue-green flames

New cards
29

How is the flame test for metal cations conducted?

  • A platinum or nichrome wire piece is cut

  • The wire is dipped in HCl acid to clean it

  • It is then dipped in the sample metal and held over the blue part of the bunsen flame

  • The wire can be cleaned and used again

New cards
30

what is the cations coloured precipitate test

Adding a few drops of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to a metal ion sample which should form a colourful precipitate

New cards
31

What is the result of a Copper II (Cu2+) test?

A blue precipitate

New cards
32

What is the result of an Iron II (Fe2+) test?

A sludgy green precipitate

New cards
33

What is the result of an Iron III (Fe3+) test?

A reddish brown precipitate

New cards
34

What is the result of an ammonium ion test?

Red litmus paper turns blue

New cards
35

How is an ammonium ion test conducted?

  • A few drops of Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are added to an ammonium solution

  • Damp litmus paper is held over the test tube to pick up on ammonia gas

New cards
36

What is the test for chlorine gas?

Damp blue limus paper turns white

New cards
37

What is the test for Oxygen gas?

It relights a glowing splint

New cards
38

What is the test for Hydrogen gas?

It burns with a squeaky pop

New cards
39

What is the test for ammonia gas?

Damp blue litmus paper turns red

New cards
40

Results of a reaction between an acid and a metal hydroxides

A salt + water

New cards
41

Results of a reaction between an acid and a metal oxides

A salt + water

New cards
42

What is the name of the precipitate formed when limewater reacts with CO2

Calcium carbonate
