How to determine the differnce between aluminium ion and zinc ions?
Use ammonia solution. Aluminium will give a white precipitate, Zinc will give a white precipitaite that will redissolve in excess ammoinia to give a clear, colourless solution
Cation
A positively charged ion
Anion
A negativelycharged ion
precipitation reaction
A reaction in which a solid, insoluble product forms upon mixing two solutions.
Test for carbonate ions
add dilute HCL, it fizzes and CarbonDioxide formed turns limewater turns cloudy
Test for halide ions
Add dilute nitric acid followed by silver nitrate solution
positive test for chloride ion
White precipitate
positive test for bromide ion
Cream precipitate
positive test for iodide ion
yellow precipitate
Test for sulfate ions
Add dilute hydrochloric acid and then barium chloride solution, if a whiteprecipitate forms, sulfate ions are present.
Test for nitrate ions
Add aqueous sodium hydroxide, then aluminium foil; warm carefully Ammonia produced
Test for carbondioxide
Turns limewater cloudy
Test for oxygen gas
Relights a glowing splint
Test for hydrogen gas
Lighted splint.Squeakypop.
Tests for ammonia
Lower damp red litmus paper or damp universal indicator (pH) paper into test solution
>> Damp redlitmuspaperturnsblue if Ammonia is present
>> Damp universalindicator (pH) paper turns purple if Ammonia is present
Test for chlorine gas
Bleaches damp litmus paper white
Test for sulphurdioxide gas
Use a solution of acidified potassium manganate. It will go from purple to colourless
Proceedure for doing a flame test
Place a sample loop (Nichrome wire) or a wet splint into a sample and place into a blue flame

Make alcohol
Fermentation: alcohol + oxygen -> carboxylic acid + water
