#1
Front (Question)

State the reagent needed to test for carbonate ions CO32- Can you state both the name and the formula for this reagent?

Back (Answer)

Acid H+ (usually nitric acid HNO3)

#2
Front (Question)

State the reagent needed to test for sulfate ions SO42- Can you state both the name and the formula for this reagent?

Back (Answer)

Aqueous barium nitrate Ba(NO3)2 (or barium chloride BaCl2)

#3
Front (Question)

State the reagent needed to test for chloride ions Cl- Can you state both the name and the formula for this reagent?

Back (Answer)

Aqueous silver nitrate AgNO3 May need to also add dilute Ammonia to confirm!

#4
Front (Question)

State the reagent needed to confirm between white AgCl and cream AgBr Can you state both the name and the formula for this reagent?

Back (Answer)

Dilute ammonia NH3

#5
Front (Question)

State the reagent needed to confirm between cream AgBr and yellow AgI Can you state both the name and the formula for this reagent?

Back (Answer)

Concentrated ammonia NH3

#6
Front (Question)

State the reagent needed to test for ammonium ions Can you state both the name and the formula for this reagent?

Back (Answer)

Sodium hydroxide NaOH and red litmus paper Remember, the litmus paper is testing for the ammonia gas produced!

#7
Front (Question)

State the reagent needed to test for copper (II) ions Cu2+

Back (Answer)

Sodium hydroxide NaOH or Ammonia NH3 Only add small amounts for the precipitation test!

#8
Front (Question)

State the ion present based on the observation. NaOH: blue precipitate Think formula AND name for this ion

Back (Answer)

Cu2+ Copper (II)

#9
Front (Question)

State the ion present based on the observation. Small amount of Ammonia: green precipitate Excess ammonia: no change Think formula AND name for this ion

Back (Answer)

Fe2+ Iron (II) Chromium (III) also gives a green precipitate (grey-green) but this dissolves in excess ammonia!

#10
Front (Question)

State the ion present based on the observation. NaOH: pale pink precipitate Think formula AND name for this ion

Back (Answer)

Mn2+Manganese (II)

#11
Front (Question)

State the ion present based on the observation. HCl: bubbles Think formula AND name for this ion

Back (Answer)

CO32- Carbonate

#12
Front (Question)

State the ion present based on the observation. Acid: no bubbles Barium nitrate: white precipitate Think formula AND name for this ion

Back (Answer)

SO42- Sulfate (VI) This is sometimes just called sulfate as it is the most common version.

#13
Front (Question)

State the ion present based on the observation. Acid: no bubbles Silver nitrate: precipitate Dilute ammonia: precipitate dissolves Think formula AND name for this ion
