Flame photometry
-
A sample is placed in a flame, light given out is passed into a machine
The light passes through a spectroscope, which can detect different wavelelngths of light and converts light into a line spectrum

Test for Anions (-)
Test for sulphate ions
-
-
If a white precipitate forms, barium sulphate, the test is positive
-
Test for halide ions
Add dilute nitric acid to get rid of any carbonate ions, which would produce a false positive as they react with silver nitrate to form a precipitate
Chloride ions, white precipitate (milk)
Bromide ions, cream precipitate (cream)
Iodide ions, yellow precipitate (butter)
-
They add dilute nitric acid, not hydrochloric acid, as it would introcue chloride ions into the solution
-
Test for ammonia
test ammonium ions
-
Heat the solution, and ammonia will be produced
-
Test for Carbonate ions
When a Carbonate reacts with a dilute acid you get a salt, water and carbon dioxide
-
You can test for carbonate ions in a solution by using a dropping pipette to add a couple of drops of dilute acid to a test tube containing the unknown solution.
-
If it turns cloudy, then CO2 is present
Test for Cations (+)
Flame test
Method
To test a substance, dip the clean loop in a solution of the ions and hold at the edge of a blue flame

-
Hydroxide precipitates
Method
-
The sample solution is placed in a test tube and a few drops of dilute sodium hydroxide solution are added
-
-
Copper and iron are transition metals, many of these elements form coloured coloured compounds
Although sodium hydroxide is soluble in water, most hydroxides are insoluble and so form precipitates in these tests
