Theory Questions – Qualitative Analysis II:

1. (a). Describe briefly one chemical test that can be used to distinguish between 

(i). NH4+ and Al3+

(ii). Cu2+ and Fe2+

(iii). Zn2+ and Pb2+

(b). Give the colour of the precipitate formed by each of the following ions on reaction with NaOH(aq).

(i). Zn2+ (ii).  Pb2+ (iii). Cu2+ (iv). Fe2+ and (v). Fe3+

2. D is an inorganic salt. E is a solution of an inorganic salt. The tests recorded in the table below were performed on D and E.

Copy and complete the table.

TestObservationInference
(a)D + distilled waterDid not dissolve
(b)D + dil. HCI + heatDissolved to form blue or greenish-blue solution
(c)Solution of D + NaOH(aq) in drops then in excessBlue gelatinous precipitate

(d)Solution of D + NH3(aq) in drops then in excess 
Cu2+ present

Cu2+ confirmed
(e)(i)  E(aq) + NaOH(aq) in    drops and in excessNo precipitate
(ii)  Mixture in 2(e)(i) warmedNH3 gas evolved, therefore NH4+ present
(f)E(aq)  +BaCl2(aq)
White chalky precipitate.  No gas evolved, precipitate did not dissolve

Theory Questions & Answers -Qualitative Analysis II

1. (a). Describe briefly one chemical test that can be used to distinguish between

(i). NH4+ and Al3+

Answer:

Add NH3(aq)

NH4+ → No visible reaction

Al3+ → White gelatinous precipitate

 

(ii). Cu2+ and Fe2+

Answer:

Add NaOH(aq)

Cu2+ → Pale/light blue precipitate forms

Fe2+ → Dirty green gelatinous precipitate

 

(iii). Zn2+ and Pb2+

Answer:

Add NH3(aq)

Zn2+ → White gelatinous precipitate (in drops)
– Precipitate dissolves (in excess NH3)

Pb2+ → White powdery or chalky
– Precipitate in drops (NH3)
– Precipitate is insoluble in excess NH3(aq)

 

(b). Give the colour of the precipitate formed by each of the following ions on reaction with NaOH(aq).

(i). Zn2+  → White gelatinous precipitate

(ii).  Pb2+ → Powdery/chalky white precipitate

(iii). Cu2+ → Pale/light blue gelatinous precipitate

(iv). Fe2+ → Dirty green gelatinous precipitate

(v). Fe3+ → Reddish brown gelatinous precipitate

 

2. D is an inorganic salt. E is a solution of an inorganic salt. The tests recorded in the table below were performed on D and E.

Copy and complete the table.

Test Observation Inference
(a) D + distilled water Did not dissolve No inference, CuO suspected
(b) D + dil. HCI + heat Dissolved to form blue or greenish-blue solution CuO confirmed
(c) Solution of D + NaOH(aq) in drops then in excess Blue gelatinous precipitate Insoluble in excess, Cu2+ present
(d) Solution of D + NH3(aq) in drops then in excess Gelatinous precipitate dissolves, deep blue solution is formed Cu2+ present, Cu2+ confirmed
(e) (i)  E(aq) + NaOH(aq) in    drops and in excess No precipitate NH4+ suspected
(ii)  Mixture in 2(e)(i) warmed A gas with a pungent smell which turns moist red litmus paper blue is given off NH3 gas evolved, therefore NH4+ present
(f) E(aq)  +BaCl2(aq) White chalky precipitate.  No gas evolved, precipitate did not dissolve SO42-, SO32-, CO32-, or S2- present
