Chem paper 3 help!!
« on: May 28, 2009, 04:08:42 am »
Just generally, what tests do we need to learn? Like test for sulphur dioxide other ones?

And does anyone know a chem guide website? I already know chemguide.co.uk, but thats mostly for A levels.

You need to know basic tests such as oxygen and hydrogen tests and also tests for soluble ions such as zinc ion and copper ions.

Yes but sometimes they ask tests fro random gases like sulphur dioxide. And what catalysts do we need to know? Like for decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and what else?

Which paper did they ask you to test a random gas? There is nothing about identifying sulphur dioxide in the syllabus.

u gotta learn test of cations(zinc,aluminium,copper(II),calcium.iron(II),iron(III),ammonium,etc) and test of anioins(nitrates,carbonates,sulphates,chlorides,etc) and test of gasses(oxygen,hydrogen,carbon dioxide,chlorine and ammonia)
then u gotta learn how to test unsaturated hydrocarbon(with double bonds eg:ethene) where u have to use aqueous redish-brown bromine water which decolourizes when added to unsaturated hydrocarbon..

and thts all i guess

sulphur dioxide turns acidified potassium dichromate from orange to green.
