    Tests For Chem (Ions)

    Uploaded by

    This document describes tests to identify common cations, anions, and gases. Cations like ammonium, copper, and iron can be identified by the color of precipitates formed when reacted with sodium hydroxide. Common anions like carbonate, sulfate, and nitrate can be detected through reactions producing barium chloride, oxygen and metal oxides, or ammonia. Gases such as hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine, carbon dioxide, and ammonia are identifiable by their reactions with indicators or ability to relight a glowing splint.
