課程筆記

Identification of Anions

  • Carbonate (CO₃²⁻): Add dilute acid → CO₂ gas → bubble through limewater → turns cloudy/milky (white CaCO₃ precipitate).
  • Halide (Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻): Acidify with dilute HNO₃, add AgNO₃(aq) → coloured precipitate: Cl⁻ = white (AgCl), Br⁻ = cream (AgBr), I⁻ = yellow (AgI).
  • Nitrate (NO₃⁻): Add aq. NaOH + Al foil, warm gently → ammonia gas (turns damp red litmus blue).
  • Sulfate (SO₄²⁻): Acidify with dilute HNO₃, add BaCl₂(aq) or Ba(NO₃)₂ → white precipitate (BaSO₄).
  • Sulfite (SO₃²⁻): Add dilute acid, warm, bubble gas through acidified KMnO₄ → purple to colourless.

Identification of Cations – NaOH Test

  • Add few drops aq. NaOH → observe precipitate colour; then excess NaOH → note solubility.
  • Al³⁺: white ppt, soluble in excess NaOH → colourless solution.
  • NH₄⁺: ammonia gas on warming (turns damp red litmus blue).
  • Ca²⁺: white ppt, insoluble in excess NaOH.
  • Cr³⁺: green ppt, soluble in excess NaOH.
  • Cu²⁺: light blue ppt, insoluble in excess NaOH.
  • Fe²⁺: green ppt, insoluble in excess, surface turns brown on standing.
  • Fe³⁺: red-brown ppt, insoluble in excess.
  • Zn²⁺: white ppt, soluble in excess NaOH → colourless solution.

Identification of Cations – Ammonia Test

  • Add few drops aq. NH₃ → observe precipitate; then excess NH₃ → note solubility.
  • Al³⁺: white ppt, insoluble in excess NH₃.
  • Ca²⁺: no ppt or very slight white ppt; no change with excess.
  • Cr³⁺: green ppt, insoluble in excess NH₃.
  • Cu²⁺: light blue ppt, soluble in excess NH₃ → dark blue solution.
  • Fe²⁺: green ppt, insoluble in excess, surface turns brown.
  • Fe³⁺: red-brown ppt, insoluble in excess.
  • Zn²⁺: white ppt, soluble in excess NH₃ → colourless solution.

Flame Tests for Metal Cations

  • Clean nichrome or platinum wire by dipping in conc. HCl and heating until no colour.
  • Dip wire into sample and hold in blue Bunsen flame.
  • Li⁺ = red; Na⁺ = yellow; K⁺ = lilac; Ca²⁺ = orange-red; Ba²⁺ = light green; Cu²⁺ = blue-green.

Identification of Gases

  • Ammonia (NH₃): damp red litmus turns blue; sharp choking smell.
  • Carbon dioxide (CO₂): bubble through limewater → turns cloudy/milky.
  • Chlorine (Cl₂): damp blue litmus turns red then bleached white; toxic – use fume cupboard.
  • Hydrogen (H₂): burning splintsqueaky pop (rapid combustion).
  • Oxygen (O₂): glowing splintrelights (or glows brightly).
  • Sulfur dioxide (SO₂): bubble through acidified KMnO₄ → purple to colourless; sharp choking smell.

Key Tips & Common Mistakes

  • For carbonate test: describe the test (bubble gas through limewater), not just the result.
  • Halide test: use HNO₃ to acidify, not HCl (Cl⁻ would interfere).
  • Sulfate test: add HNO₃ first to remove carbonates that also give white ppt.
  • Add NaOH/NH₃ slowly – some ppts dissolve in excess, so initial ppt may be missed.
  • Distinguish colourless (no colour) vs clear (transparent, may be coloured).
  • Flame test: sample must be pure (single cation) to avoid mixed colours.
