In the flame test, calcium has what colour?
Yellow-red
What is the colour from the flame test of copper?
Green-blue
What metal gives a lilac flame?
Potassium
In the flame test, what is the colour given by sodium?
Orange
Do you test for halides?
Add a dilute nitric acid then silver nitrate
Why do you have to add nitric acid to a halide solution when analysing it?
Because all other acids will react with the silver nitrate making a white precipitate

Why do we use a white tile in titrations? | To help see a colour change |
When do we stop repeating measurements for titrations? | When concordant results are achieved. |
How do you convert a number from cm^3 to dm^3? | Divide the number by 1000 |

What do you add to a solution you believe has carbonate ions in to know for sure? | A dilute acid for example hydrochloric |
What will happen when an acid is added to a solution with carbonate ions? | It will fizz and CO2 will form |
How can you test if CO2 has been formed when adding an acid to a possible carbonate solution? | By connecting the test tube to another holding limewater the CO2 will turn the lime water cloudy |
What are the three negative ions you need to know the tests for for GCSE? | Carbonates |
