Q1 · Notes for use in Qualitative Analysis for this question are printed on page 12

1 Notes for use in Qualitative Analysis for this question are printed on page 12. Solid H is a mixture of two substances, element J and compound K. Compound K is soluble in water whereas element J is not soluble in water. You are going to separate the mixture and identify the two substances. (a) separating the mixture • Place the solid H in a beaker and add 20 cm3 of distilled water. • Stir well for 30 seconds. • Filter the mixture into a large test-tube. • Keep the filtrate and residue for testing in (b) and (c). (i) Draw and label the apparatus you have used to filter the mixture. [2] (ii) Describe the appearance of the filtrate and residue. filtrate ................................................................................................................................ residue .............................................................................................................................. [1] (b) testing the liquid • Place 1 cm depth of the liquid from (a) in another large test-tube. • Slowly add sodium hydroxide solution until there is no further change. (i) Record your observations and any conclusion you can make about the soluble compound K. observations ...................................................................................................................... ........................................................................................................................................... ........................................................................................................................................... conclusion ......................................................................................................................... [3] (ii) On the answer lines below, plan which three tests you need to carry out to determine whether the liquid contains the carbonate, chloride or sulfate anion. You also need to plan the order in which you will carry out these tests. The following reagents are available: barium nitrate solution, dilute nitric acid, silver nitrate solution. For each test, state the observation which would confirm the presence of the anion. first test ............................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................... anion tested for ................................................................................................................. observation for a positive result ........................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................... second test ...................................................................................................................... ........................................................................................................................................... anion tested for ................................................................................................................. observation for a positive result ........................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................... third test ........................................................................................................................... ........................................................................................................................................... anion tested for ................................................................................................................. observation for a positive result ........................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................... [3] (iii) Carry out your plan in (b)(ii). Record the reagent, observation and conclusion for the test which identifies the anion. reagent .............................................................................................................................. observation ........................................................................................................................ anion present in filtrate ...................................................................................................... [1] (c) testing the solid • Scrape the solid from the filter paper in (a) into a test-tube. • Add dilute hydrochloric acid until the test-tube is half-full. • Loosely hold a bung in the test-tube. • After 3 minutes take the bung away from the test-tube and test the gas produced with a lighted splint. (i) Record the test result and the colour of the liquid. test result ........................................................................................................................... colour of liquid ................................................................................................................... [2] (ii) Name the gas produced in this test. gas ................................................................................................................................[1] (iii) Use your answers to (c)(i) and (c)(ii) to deduce the type of element which is in the solid from (a). type of element ..............................................................................................................[1] (iv) Suggest one test which could be carried out on the solution produced in the test-tube to identify the element J. You should not carry out this test. test ................................................................................................................................[1]
