1/15
  • Anions

    Negatively charged ions that can be identified through specific chemical tests.
  • Chloride Ion

    Forms a white precipitate of silver chloride when reacted with nitric acid and silver nitrate.
  • Bromide Ion

    Produces a creamy white precipitate of silver bromide with nitric acid and silver nitrate.
  • Iodide Ion

    Results in a yellow precipitate of silver iodide when combined with nitric acid and silver nitrate.
  • Carbonate Ion

    Reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide gas and forms a white precipitate with magnesium sulfate.
  • Bicarbonate Ion

    Also known as hydrogen carbonate, it releases carbon dioxide gas with hydrochloric acid but no precipitate with magnesium sulfate.
  • Sulfate Ion

    Forms a white precipitate of barium sulfate with barium chloride and requires strong heating to release sulfur trioxide gas.
  • Bisulfate Ion

    Produces sulfur trioxide gas with light heating and releases more CO2 with sodium carbonate.
  • Sulfide Ion

    Releases sulfur dioxide gas with a strong odor when reacted with hydrochloric acid.
  • Nitrate Ion

    Identified by the brown ring test, forming a brown ring with cold iron(II) sulfate and sulfuric acid.
  • Precipitate

    A solid formed in a solution during a chemical reaction, indicating the presence of specific ions.
  • Silver Nitrate

    Reagent used to detect halide ions by forming distinct colored precipitates.
  • Nitric Acid

    Used in combination with silver nitrate to test for halide ions in a solution.
  • Hydrochloric Acid

    Reacts with carbonate and sulfide ions to release gases, aiding in their identification.
  • Magnesium Sulfate

    Differentiates between carbonate and bicarbonate ions by forming a precipitate only with carbonate.
