Test For Ions
Test for positive and negative ions C3
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Lithium ions Li + | Flame test- Crimson |
Sodium ions Na + | Flame test- Yellow |
Potassium ions K + | Flame test- Lilac |
Calcium ions Ca 2+ | Flame test- Red Add sodium hydroxide to make a white precipitate and then you have calcium hydroxide solution |
Barium ions Ba 2+ | Flame test- Green |
Aluminium ions Al 3+ | Add sodium hydroxide to make a white precipitate and then add again to re-dissolve the aluminium hydroxide solution |
Magnesium ions Mg 2+ | Add sodium hydroxide to make a white precipitate and then you have magnesium hydroxide solution |
Copper(11) ions Cu 3+ | Add sodium hydroxide to make a blue precipitate and then you have copper(11) hydroxide solution |
Iron(11) ions Fe 3+ | Add sodium hydroxide to make a green precipitate and then you have iron(11) hydroxide solution |
Iron(111) ions Fe 3+ | Add sodium hydroxide to make a brown precipitate and then you have iron(111) hydroxide solution |
Carbonate ions | Add dilute hydrochloric acid to the substance and see if it fizzes. If it does and the gas produced turns limewater milky, the substance contains carbonate ions |
Chloride ions Cl - | Add dilute nitric acid and then silver nitrate solution to form white precipitate |
Bromine ions Br - | Add dilute nitric acid and then silver nitrate solution to form cream precipitate |
Iodide ions I - | Add dilute nitric acid and then silver nitrate solution to form yellow precipitate |
Sulfate ions | Add dilute hydrochloric acid and then barium chloride solution. if a white precipitate forms, sulphate ions are present |
