Question Answer
Name a reagent you could use to show that sulphate ions were present in a solution. State the observation you would make if the test was positive and identify the substance responsible for this observation. Barium chloride White precipitate Barium sulphate
Name a reagent you could use to show that chloride ions are present in a solution. State the observation you would make if the test was positive. Identify the substance responsible for this observation. Acidified silver nitrate White precipitate Silver chloride
State the trend in the solubility of the silver halides in ammonia going down group 7. Hence describe a test to distinguish between AgCl, AgBr and AgI. Decreases Add dilute ammonia - AgCl will dissolve, others will not Add concentrated ammonia - AgBr will dissolve, AgI will not
Name a reagent you could use to show that bromide ions are present in a solution. State the observation you would make if the test was positive. Identify the substance responsible for this observation. Acidified silver nitrate Cream solution Silver bromide
Name a reagent you could use to show that iodide ions are present in a solution. State the observation you would make if this test was positive. Identify the substance responsible for this observation. Acidified silver nitrate Yellow precipitate Silver iodide
Suggest why it is not possible to use acidified silver nitrate to show that fluoride ions are present in a solution in the way it is used to test for other halides. Silver fluoride is soluble (so no precipitate would form)
Name a reagent you could use to distinguish between an aldehyde and a ketone. State the observation you would make with an aldehyde and the observation you would make with a ketone. Any of: Tollens' reagent Aldehyde: silver forms Ketone: no change Fehling's/Benedict's reagent Aldehyde: brick-red solid forms Ketone: no change Acidified potassium dichromate(VI) Aldehyde: orange to green Ketone: no change/remains orange
State five observations you might make during the reactions between solid sodium iodide and concentrated sulfuric acid. In each case, identify the substance responsible. Black solid - iodine Purple vapour - iodine Steamy fumes - hydrogen iodide Smell of bad eggs - hydrogen sulphide Yellow solid - sulphur
State two observations you would make when solid sodium bromide is reacted with concentrated sulfuric acid. In each case, identify the substance responsible. Steamy fumes - hydrogen bromide Brown fumes - bromine
State one observation you would make when solid sodium chloride reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid. Identify the substance responsible. Steamy fumes - hydrogen chloride
State the observation you would make when chlorine is reacted with sodium bromide. Identify the substance responsible. Orange-brown colour - bromine
State the observation you would make when chlorine is reacted with sodium iodide. Identify the substance responsible. Black/grey solid or red/brown solution - iodine
Describe how you could test for chlorine gas. Chlorine gas bleaches damp litmus paper
Name a reagent you could use to show that an organic molecule contains a double bond. State the observation you would make if the test was positive. Bromine water Orange/brown to colourless
