Ion Identification Problems – HSC Chemistry
This is part of the HSC Chemistry course under Module 8 Section 1: Analysis of Inorganic Compounds.
HSC Chemistry Syllabus
Conduct qualitative investigations – using flame tests, precipitation and complexation reactions as appropriate – to test for the presence in aqueous solution of the following
-
cations: barium (Ba2+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), lead(II) (Pb2+), silver ion (Ag+), copper(II) (Cu2+), iron(II) (Fe2+), iron(III) (3+)
-
anions: chloride (`Cl^-`), bromide (`Br^-`), iodide (`I^-`), hydroxide (`OH^–`), acetate (`CH_3COO^–`), carbonate (`CO_3^{2-}`), sulfate (`SO_4^{2-}`), phosphate (`PO_4^{3-}`)
Ion Identification Practice Questions
This video uses multiple practice questions and scenarios to consolidate the key tests that can be used to identify cations and ions in solution.
