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.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

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!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
