Identification of Ions & Gases Quiz

1

The results of two tests on solid X are shown.

What is X?

1

A white solid is insoluble in water.
When it is added to hydrochloric acid, bubbles of gas are formed.
Adding aqueous ammonia to the solution formed gives a white precipitate. Adding excess
aqueous ammonia causes the precipitate to re-dissolve.

What is the white solid?

1

An element, X, is a dark grey crystalline solid at room temperature.
It has a melting point of 114°C and a density of 4.9 g/ cm3.
When heated gently it forms a purple vapour.

Where in the Periodic Table is X found?

1

Which two compounds give a white precipitate when their aqueous solutions are mixed?

1

Two tests are carried out to identify an aqueous solution of X.
test 1 Aqueous sodium hydroxide is added and a blue precipitate is produced.
test 2 Dilute nitric acid is added followed by aqueous silver nitrate and a white
precipitate is produced.

What is X?

1

Which gas relights a glowing splint?

1

Which statement about aqueous sodium hydroxide is correct?

1

Aqueous sodium hydroxide is added to solid X and the mixture is heated.
A green precipitate is formed and an alkaline gas is given off.

Which ions are present in X?

1

Compound X is tested and the results are shown in the table.

Which ions are present in compound X?

1

The cations shown are identified by the colour of the precipitates formed when an excess of an aqueous solution of X is added.

What is X?

1

Which of these pairs of aqueous ions both react with dilute sulfuric acid to give a visible result?

1

Element X forms an acidic, covalent oxide.

Which row shows how many electrons there could be in the outer shell of an atom of X?

1

Barium hydroxide is an alkali. It reacts with hydrochloric acid.

How does the pH of the hydrochloric acid change as an excess of aqueous barium hydroxide is added?

1

The results of three tests on a solution of compound X are shown.

What is compound X?

1

A solution contains barium ions and silver ions.

What could the anion be?

1

Some reactions involving sodium are shown.
Which reaction does not involve the formation of a base?

1

When sodium reacts with water, a solution and a gas are produced.
The solution is tested with litmus paper and the gas is tested with a splint.
What happens to the litmus paper and to the splint?

1

Aqueous sodium hydroxide is added to a solution of a salt. A blue precipitate is formed which does not dissolve in excess.
Aluminium foil is added to the mixture and the mixture is warmed. A gas is produced that turns damp red litmus paper blue.

What is the name of the salt?

1

An element E is burned in air. A white solid oxide is formed.
The oxide is tested with damp red litmus paper. The paper turns blue.

What is element E?
