Question

Name QUESTIONS 1. Explain why an excess of Fel" is necessary for the NO, test. 2. Explain fully the purpose of ammonia in the Group I anions general test Explain how one can be certain whether an unknown contains the I ion or the Br ion. Include appropriate equation s). 3. Tell how you could distinguish chemically berween the following pairs of sub- stances (in separate test tubes) in one or two steps. In each case, tell what you would observe. Include equations for reactions occurting. 4. a) NaCI and NaNO, solutions

Explanation / Answer

Q1

NO3- test will not have any effect on Fe2+ since it is not soluble/will see no visible change

Q2

Ammonia test --> helps increase pH

Oh- is present, so Ag+, Pb+2, Hg+2 will precipitate as AgOH+ Pb(OH)2, Hg2(OH)2

Q3

I- color --> yellowish

Br- ion = brown

therefore, if solution is yellow = iodine is present

if solutino is born then brominei spresent

Q4

NaCl --> Cl- is present, addition of Fluorine gas, will follow Cl2(g) production

NaNO3 -->Apply Copper turning test

Cu + 4HNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO2(g) +2H2O

expect "blue Color", increase in pH, and NO2(g) formation (bubbles)
