This page provides a comprehensive overview of various chemical tests used to identify specific ions and gases in laboratory settings. These tests are essential knowledge for GCSE and A-level chemistry students.
The test for carbonate ions involves collecting the gas and bubbling it through limewater.
Definition: Limewater is a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide.
If carbon dioxide is present, the limewater will turn cloudy or milky.
Silver nitrate test for halides is a crucial method for identifying halide ions. The procedure involves adding dilute nitric acid followed by silver nitrate solution.
Highlight: The presence of a precipitate indicates a halide, with different colors corresponding to specific halides:
- Chloride: White precipitate
- Bromide: Cream precipitate
- Iodide: Yellow precipitate
Vocabulary: Precipitate - A solid that forms and separates from a solution during a chemical reaction.
Carbonates can be identified by their reaction with dilute acids, such as hydrochloric acid. This test for carbonates A Level Chemistry students should know involves observing two key indicators:
Example: When a carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid, it produces carbon dioxide, which turns limewater cloudy.
To test for the presence of oxygen, a glowing splint is inserted into the gas. If oxygen is present, the splint will relight.
Test for sulfate ions, a Level Chemistry involves adding dilute hydrochloric acid followed by barium chloride solution. If sulfate ions are present, a white precipitate will form.
Highlight: The formation of a white precipitate specifically indicates the presence of sulfate ions.
To test for chlorine gas, damp blue litmus paper is held over the gas. If chlorine is present, the paper will bleach, turning from blue to white or red.
The flame test colors for metal ions gcse is a method used to identify certain metal ions based on the characteristic color they impart to a flame.
Example: Flame test colors:
- Lithium: Crimson
- Sodium: Yellow
- Potassium: Lilac
- Calcium: Orange-red
- Copper: Green
This test is used to identify metal ions by forming metal hydroxide precipitates. The color of the precipitate indicates the specific metal ion present.
Highlight: Precipitate colors in sodium hydroxide test:
- Aluminium: White
- Calcium: White
- Magnesium: White
- Copper: Blue
- Iron: Green
- Iron: Brown
Quote: "If sodium hydroxide is added in excess, aluminium hydroxide precipitate goes clear."
These tests form the foundation of qualitative analysis in chemistry, allowing students to identify unknown substances based on their chemical properties and reactions.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
