2 You are provided with solid H. Carry out the following tests to identify the ions present in H. Record all your observation and inferences in the table below and identify any gas(es) evolved. 6 a) Put a spatula end full of solid H in a dry test-tube and heat gently then strongly for about 2 minutes. Test the gas evolved with moist blue and red litmus papers. b) Place a spatula end-full of solid H in a boiling tube and add 15cm 3 of distilled water and shake well. Divide the solution into four portions. i) To portion one, add sodium hydroxide solution drop wise until in excess. Warm the mixture gently and test the gas evolved with litmus. Observation ii) To portion two, add ammonia solution drop wise until in excess. Observation ½mark iii) To portion three, add five drops of lead (IV) nitrate. Warm the mixture. iv) To portion four, add three drops of Barium chloride solution, followed by 5cm 3 hydrochloric acid solution. ½mark
7 3. You are provided with solid Z. Carry out tests below. Record your observations and inferences in the spaces provided. (a) Place solid Z in a test tube add about 10cm 3 of distilled water and shake to dissolve. Divide the resultant solution into 4 portions and use them for tests below (½mk) (½mk) i) To the first portion add dilute sodium hydroxide drop wise until in excess ii) To the second portion add aqueous ammonia drop wise until in excess
iii) To the third portion add drops of potassium iodide solution 8 iv) To the fourth portion add a few drops of sodium sulphate solution (½mk) (½mk)
