(2a)
When all of C is added to a test tube with about 10cm³ of distilled water and shaken, the mixture is filtered. The residue and the filtrate are obtained.
Observations:
The residue: This will contain the insoluble salt(s) present in C.
The filtrate: This will contain the soluble salt(s) present in C.
(2bi)
Heating about 2cm³ of the filtrate in a boiling tube strongly.
Observations:
If there is effervescence (bubbling), it indicates the presence of a carbonate salt in the filtrate.
The gas evolved is likely carbon dioxide (CO₂).
(2bii)
Adding dilute HCl to half of the residue in a test tube.
Observations:
If there is effervescence (bubbling), it indicates the presence of a carbonate salt in the residue.
The gas evolved is likely carbon dioxide (CO₂).
(2biii)
Adding aqueous NaOH in drops, then in excess, to about 2cm³
Observations:
If a white precipitate forms upon adding NaOH drops, and it dissolves upon excess addition of NaOH, it indicates the presence of a metal hydroxide in the solution.
(2biv)
Adding aqueous ammonia in drops, then in excess, to another 2cm³ of the clear solution from (ii).
Observations:
If a colored precipitate forms upon adding ammonia drops, and it dissolves upon excess ammonia addition, it indicates the presence of a metal hydroxide in the solution.
