Test to detect halide ions • Halide ions are chloride, bromide & iodide • These are negatively charged ------------- • The name of the test is Silver Nitrate test • Procedure • Take 1 cm3 of the solution in a test tube. • Add 1 cm3 of dilute Nitric Acid to the solution. • Then add a few drops of Silver Nitrate solution. • Observe the colour of precipitate & write conclusions
Observations of Silver Nitrate Test • A white precipitate- Chloride present • A cream precipitate- Bromide present • A yellow precipitate- Iodide present • www.knockhardy.org.uk/ppoints.htm
Further confirmation test for halides. Try to dissolve in dilute ammonia solution
another key tests for halides: • Concentrated sulphuric acid: • Halide salt eg KX +H2SO4 HX(g) +KHSO4 • So KCl will give off HCl gas, KBr gives HBr etc.. • BUT concentrated sulphuric is also mildly oxidising, whilst not strong enough to oxidise KF, KCl is WILL oxidise KBr to produce Bromine gas (brown)/ KI will produce Iodine fumes -another key identifier.
Addition of Concentrated ammonia (vapour) to H-X gas • Following addition of sulphuric acid, one may have HX gas or an X2gas/HX gas blend depending on halide X. • HX is acidic in solution therefore will react with concentrated ammonia to yield a precipitate. • eg HCl + NH3 NH4Cl (white ppt) -again a confirmation of a halide
OBJECTIVES • To analyse the 2 cations & report as ferrous(Fe2+) or ferric (Fe3+) • To analyse sulphate anion by Barium chloride test
OBJECTIVES • To analyse the 2 cations & report as ferrous(Fe2+) or ferric (Fe3+)
To analyse the 2 cations & report as ferrous(Fe2+) or ferric (Fe3+) • Iron ions form distinct colours. • Use Sodium Hydroxide Solution • Iron (II) produces a green gelatinous precipitate • Iron (III) produces a brown gelatinous preciptiate) (*note over time Iron(II) can be oxidised to Iron (III) )
