HOW? Tests for ions
Ions revision • Atoms form ions by either gaining or losing electrons Na+ Ca2+ K+ Br-
Identifying elements • In a laboratory, pure elements are available and usually labelled. • In other areas, the presence of particular elements is unknown and must be tested. • Flame tests are used to confirm the presence of some elements.
1. Flame tests • Positive ions produce different flame colours. • We can use these colours to find out what positive ion a compound contains.
Carrying out flame tests • You will be using Hydrochloric acid • This is dangerous! • In all experiments, you should work with an awareness of GLP (Good Laboratory Practice). • Get into the habit of recording everything!
Watch Miss Fergus demonstrate. • GOGGLES ON! • Off you go.
Name that flame! 1= Sodium ions 2= Calcium ions 3= Potassium ions 4= Copper ions

Homework: Hand in September first lesson • Throughout the course you must identify the vocational context for each investigation. • You have done some testing for ions. • Write a 2-3 page report titled “Industries that use ion testing and how they use these results.” • Include a referenced bibliography.
What GCSE's do you need? • You need: • B in your Year 11 Additional GCSE. • 43 points overall (average of B/C for all subjects).
