9.1 Qualitative Analysis

understand how to collect gases by upward and downward delivery, over water and using a gas syringe

 

recall how to collect and how to test for hydrogen, oxygen, ammonia and CO2

 

appreciate the potential danger of explosion when hydrogen is collected or used

 

recall the tests for the following ions in solids or solutions as appropriate: H+ (indicators, acid reactions), Na+, K+, Ca2+ (flame tests), Ca2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, NH4+ (NaOH solution), OH- (indicators, reaction with NH4+ salt), SO42- (dil HCl and BaCl2), CO32- (dil HNO3, identify gas evolved), Cl-, Br-, I- (dil HNO3 and AgNO3)

 

explain and write equations for the ionic reactions involved in these tests

 

9.2 Volumetric Analysis

recall the procedure for carrying out simple acid-base titrations using burette, pipette and indicator

 

convert mass concentration into mol/dm3 and vice versa

 

perform simple calculations from the results of titration
