Adding acid to carbonatesAdding acid to carbonatesCarbonates are compounds containing carbon and oxygen. When an acid is added to a carbonate the carbonate starts to fizz. A gas called _________ _______ is produced.

Calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water

CaCO3(s) + HCl(aq) CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)2

Metal ionsMetal ionsMetal compounds in a solution contain metal ions. For example, consider calcium chloride:

Chlorine is in group 7 so a chloride ion will be Cl-

Calcium is in group 2 and has two electrons in its outer shell, so it will form a Ca2+ ion.

Calcium chloride has the formula CaCl2

Metal ions and precipitatesMetal ions and precipitatesSome metal ions form precipitates, i.e. an insoluble solid that is formed when sodium hydroxide is added to them. Consider calcium chloride:

Ca2+(aq) + OH- Ca(OH)2 (s)2

20/04/23Testing for chloride and sulphate Testing for chloride and sulphate ionsions

Test 1: Chloride ions

Add a few drops of dilute nitric acid to the chloride ion solution followed by a few drops of silver nitrate.

Test 2: Sulphate ions

Add a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid to the sulphate ion solution followed by a few drops of barium chloride.

Precipitate formed = silver chloride (white)

Precipitate formed = barium sulphate (white again)

For each test state: 1) The colour of the precipitate

2) What compound it is

20/04/23Ammonium, nitrate, bromide and Ammonium, nitrate, bromide and iodide ionsiodide ions

Ammonium ions:

Add sodium hydroxide and test the gas using damp litmus paper – ammonia gas turns damp litmus paper blue.

Nitrate ions:

Add sodium hydroxide followed by aluminium powder and test using damp litmus paper.

Bromide and iodide ions:

Add a few drops of dilute nitric acid followed by a few drops of silver nitrate solution. A pale yellow precipitate should be formed for bromide ions and a darker yellow precipitate for iodide ions.

Thermal decompositionThermal decompositionA “thermal decomposition” reaction occurs when a compound breaks down (“decomposition”) through the action of heat.

Practical work:

Perform a thermal decomposition reaction on each of these compounds and state:

1)The colour changes you observed

2)The reaction that happenedCopper carbonate:

Zinc carbonate:

CuCO3 (s) CuO(s) + CO2 (g) (Green – Black)

ZnCO3 (s) ZnO(s) + CO2 (g) (White – Yellow)

Sulphuric acidSulphuric acidSulphuric acid has many important uses – car batteries, detergents, fertilisers etc.

How sulphuric acid is made:

Step 1: Burn sulphur in air:

Step 2: Pass the sulphur dioxide over a vanadium oxide catalyst at 450OC:

Step 3: Dissolve the sulphur trioxide in sulphuric acid:

Step 4: Add water to the oleum:

Sulphur + oxygen sulphur dioxide

Sulphur trioxide + conc. sulphuric acid oleum

Sulphur dioxide + oxygen sulphur trioxide

Oleum + water sulphuric acid

Sulphuric acidSulphuric acidStep 2 in the manufacture of sulphuric acid is an example of a reversible reaction:

2SO2 + O2 2SO3ExothermicEndothermic

What would happen if the temperature was decreased?

Solution – use 450OC as a compromise

The reaction would favour the production of sulphur trioxide BUT the reaction would happen at a slower rate.
