hold piece of damp red litmus paper / universal indicator paper in the ammonia the litmus turns
blue because ammonia is alkaline

reddish-brown

light blue
zinc ions and calcium ions both give a white precipitate with sodium hydroxide But with excess
sodium hydroxide the zinc hydroxide precipitate redissolves but the calcium hydroxide precipitate
does not. If we use ammonia the calcium ions do not usually form a precipitate but a precipitate is
obtained with zinc ions which redissolves in excess ammonia solution

Summary Questions 11.6 p143

1a silver ions and iodide ions
b barium ions and sulfate ions
2a add aqueous sodium hydroxide;
add aluminium foil / Devardas alloy and warm;
test the gas given off with damp red litmus paper;
if the litmus paper turns blue a nitrate is present.
b add (hydrochloric) acid to the suspected carbonate;
bubble the gas produced through limewater;
if a carbonate is present the limewater turns milky

c to the suspected chloride add nitric acid then aqueous silver nitrate;
if a white precipitate is formed which turns grey rapidly in the light, then chloride ions are present
3 copper iodide / copper(II) iodide

4 put sodium hydroxide into a flask and hydrochloric acid into a burette

put a few drops of acid base indicator solution into the flask

drip the hydrochloric acid from the burette into the flask until the indicator changes colour

note the volume of hydrochloric acid added

repeat the experiment without the indicator by adding the volume of hydrochloric acid recorded
previously

take the solution in the flask, put it in an evaporating basin and evaporate off some of the water

leave the filtrate to crystallise in a warm place

filter off the crystals and dry them on filter paper

5 1. calcium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid (titration method neither reagent in excess)
2. calcium oxide + hydrochloric acid (calcium oxide in excess so filtered off)
3. calcium + hydrochloric acid (either calcium or HCl in excess) this method is less good because
of the violent reaction of calcium with the acid
