TEST OF PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE QUESTION

All your burette readings (initials and final), as well as the size of your pipette, must be recorded but no account of experimental procedure is required. All calculations must be done in your answer booklet.

F is 2 mixture of two inorganic salts. Carry out the following exercises on F. Record your observations and identify any gas(es) evolved. State the conclusions you draw from the result of each test.

(a) Put all of F in a beaker and add about 10 cm\(^3\) of distilled water. Stir well and filter. Keep the filtrate and the residue.

(b)(i) To about 2cm\(^3\) of the filtrate. add NaOH\(_{(aq)}\) in drops and then in excess.

(ii) To another 2cm\(^3\) portion of the solution, add a few drops of NH3\(_{(aq)}\) in drops and then in excess.

(c) To about 2cm\(^3\) of the solution, add a few drops of HNO\(_{3(aq)}\) followed by few drops of the drops of AgNO\(_{3(aq)}\)

(d)(i) Put all the residue into a clean test-tube and add HNO\(_{3(aq)}\) 

(ii) To a portion of the solution from (d)(i)) add NaOH\(_{(aq)}\) in drops and then in excess.
