Study Notes

  • This set of flashcards details tests for identifying various metal ions and anions, focusing on flame tests and precipitate formation.

Flame Tests for Metal Ions

  • Lithium ions (Li+) produce a red flame.
  • Sodium ions (Na+) produce a yellow flame.
  • Potassium ions (K+) produce a lilac flame.
  • Calcium ions (Ca2+) produce an orange-red flame.
  • Copper ions (Cu2+) produce a blue-green flame.

Reaction with Sodium Hydroxide

  • Aluminium ions (Al3+) form a white precipitate that dissolves in excess sodium hydroxide solution.
  • Calcium ions (Ca2+) form a white precipitate that does not change in excess sodium hydroxide solution.
  • Copper ions (Cu2+) form a blue precipitate.
  • Iron(II) ions (Fe2+) form a green precipitate.
  • Iron(III) ions (Fe3+) form a brown precipitate.

Tests for Anions

  • Ammonium ions produce ammonia gas, identified by turning damp red litmus paper blue.
  • Carbonate ions produce carbon dioxide gas, identified by turning limewater milky.
  • Sulfate ions form a white precipitate when present.
  • Chloride ions (Cl-) form a white precipitate.
  • Bromide ions (Br-) form a cream precipitate.
  • Iodide ions (I-) form a yellow precipitate.
