Colour changes for metal ions in solutions (non acronym) - add sodium hydroxide to make a metal hydroxide
Aluminium, calcium, magnesium: form white precipitate - dissolves when excess sodium hydroxide is added
Copper (II) forms blue precipitate
Iron (II) forms green precipitate
Iron (III) forms brown precipitate
Test for carbonates
Carbonates react with acid to produce carbon dioxide

Test for halide ions
Halide ions will produce a precipitate when mixed with silver nitrate and nitric acid
Chlorine - silver chloride - white precipitate
Silver bromide - cream
Silver iodide - yellow
Test for sulphates
Form a white precipitate when mixed with Barium chloride and hydrochloric acid
Instrumental methods
Accurate, Sensitive, Rapid
used in labs
Flame emission spectroscopy- involves analysing the wavelengths of light emitted from a flame which can be used to identify ions accurately
