1.5 Gas Test Video

Dear students, this video help you to understand the gast test.

1.5 Gas Test

Gas

Example of Preparation

Test

Oxygen
(O2)

Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide

H2O2 -----> H2O + ½O2(g)


Thermal decomposition of some metallic oxides

2PbO -----> 2Pb + O2(g)

Ignites a glowing splint

since oxygen supports combustion

Hydrogen
(H2)

acid + metal -----> salt + hydrogen gas

2HCl + Zn -----> ZnCl2 + H2(g)


active metal + water -----> hydroxide + hydrogen gas

Ca(s)+ 2H2O--->Ca(OH)2+ H2(g)

"Pop Test" : a lit taper will produce an audible "pop" when placed in hydrogen gas

Carbon dioxide
(CO2)

acid + carbonate -----> salt + water + carbon dioxide

2HCl+CaCO3-->CaCl2+H2O+CO2(g)


Thermal decomposition of some carbonates

CuCO3 -----> CuO + CO2(g)

When CO2(g) is bubbled through colourless limewater (Ca(OH)2(aq))the limewater turns milky due to the formation of a calcium carbonate (CaCO3(s)) precipitate.

When CO2(g) is bubbled through Ba(OH)2(aq) a white precipitate of BaCO3 forms.

Nitrogen dioxide
(NO2)

Thermal decomposition of some nitrates

2Ni(NO3)2--->2NiO + O2+ 4NO2(g)

2Pb(NO3)2--->2PbO + O2+4NO2(g)


Less active metals + nitric acid -----> nitrate + water + nitrogen dioxide

Cu + 4HNO3
---> Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2(g)

Nitrogen dioxide is a red-brown gas which is soluble in water and has a pungent odour.

Sulfur dioxide
(SO2)

Combustion of sulfur

S(s) + O2 -----> SO2(g)


Sulfites + acid -----> water + sulfur dioxide

SO32- + 2H+ -----> H2 + SO2(g)


Hot concentrated sulfuric acid + copper

3H2SO4 + Cu(s)
--->Cu2++2HSO4-+2H2O +SO2(g)

SO2(g) is bubbled through hydrogen peroxide solution (H2O2) to produce sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The addition of barium chloride solution (BaCl2(aq)) to this solution results in a precipitate of barium sulfate (BaSO4(s)).

SO2(g) passed through a concentrated, acidified solution of potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) causes the dichromate solution to change colour from orange to green due to the formation of chromium (III) ions (Cr3+).

Hydrogen sulfide
(H2S)

sulfide + acid -----> salt + hydrogen sulfide

FeS(s) + 2HCl ---> FeCl2 + H2S(g)

H2S is often referred to as "rotten egg gas" as it smells just like rotten eggs!

H2S(g) is passed through a solution of zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and a white precipitate of zinc sulfide forms (ZnS(s)).

Pass H2S(g) over a damp filter paper impregnated with lead (II) nitrate (Pb(NO3)2), the paper turns black as lead (II) sulfide (PbS(s)) forms.

Chlorine
(Cl2)

MnO2(s) + 2Cl- + 4H+
--->Mn2+ + 2H2O + Cl2(g)


Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (NaCl)

2NaCl -----> 2Na(Hg) + Cl2(g)
(Na(Hg) is a mercury amalgam of sodium metal since sodium is slightly soluble in mercury but doesn't react with mercury as it does with other solvents like water.)

Cl2(g) is a pale yellow-green gas which bleaches coloured materials and has a characteristic choking odour.

1.4 Qualitative Analysis

Next we are going to learn about qualitative analysis. What is qualitative analysis? Qualitative analysis is a Techniques for identify species in chemistry. It involves several techniques such as
  • Physical properties (colour and solubility)
  • Gas test
  • Action of heat
  • Cation Test
  • Anion Test
  • Confirmatory Test

Hye beloved students!u have learned about soluble and insoluble salt in previous post isn't it?alright!so lets make a simple excercise to test whether u understand the previous lesson or not!enjoy students!

1.3 Preparation of Insoluble Salt

Insoluble Salt

Precipitation Process aka Double Decomposition Method
Here is the note for u beloved students to make u more understand in this chapter.
Enjoy!!

1.2 Preparation of Soluble Salt

Salt Preparation

1. Soluble Salt
1.1 Acid + Alkali --> SALT + Water
1.2 Acid + Metal --> SALT + Hydrogen
1.3 Acid + Metal Oxide --> SALT + Water
1.4 Acid + Metal Catbonate --> SALT + Water + Carbon dioxide

Below is the complete notes about preparation of soluble salt.Hope it will help u students!




1.1 What is Salt ?

Salt :
Salt is an ionic compound formed when hydrogen ion in acid is replaced bt metal ion or ammonium ion.

Example :

HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O

sodium ion replace hydrogen ion to formed sodium chloride salt.

Here some note about 2 class of salt, Soluble and Insoluble salt.
