6 Anion Tests
Chemical Equations Tests for anions
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What indicates the presence of a Chloride Ion after a few drops of Silver Nitrate (AgNO3) have been added? | A white percipitate is formed which is insoluble in ammonia solution |
How do you distinguish between a Sulphate & a Sulphite? | Add Barium Chloride (BaCl2) solution and then HCl if the white ppt remains = Sulphate, if ppt dissolves = Sulphite. |
How to test for a carbonate? | Add dilute HCl, if fizzing occurs and the gas given off turns limewater milky it's a carbonate. |
How to distinguish between a carbonte & a hydrogen carbonate? | Add Magnesium Sulphate (MgSO4), if white ppt forms = carbonate, if no ppt = Hydrogen Carbonate, Boiling will then give ppt. |
How do you know if a nitrate is present ? | You get a brown ring at the junction of the two liquids, on addition of freshly prepared Iron Sulphate (FeSO4) and conc Sulphuric acid. |
What is a brown ring test? | When you add a freshly prepared Iron sulphate solution and conc sulphuric acid to a solution of a solid, to test for Nitrates. |
What do you use to test for Phosphates? | Ammonium Molybdate is added and then conc Nitric acid & the solution warmed gently. Yellow ppt confirms Phosphate |
What confirms the presence of a phosphate? | A yellow ppt. |
What confirms a nitrate? | A brown ring on the junction of the two liquids. |
The law of conservation of mass states | In a chemical reaction the total of the mass of products is equal to the total of the mass of reactants. |
The law of conservation of matter states | In a chemical reaction that matter is neither created or destroyed it just changes from one form to another |
Qualitative analysis | is where you detect the presence of certain substances. |
