TEST 1

You are provided with solid S. Carry out the test below write your observation and inference in
the spaces provided.
a) Place half of solid S in a clean dry test – tube and heat gently. Test any gases produced with
both blue and red litmus papers.
Observation Inferences

b) i) Transfer all of the remaining solid S into a dry boiling tube. Add about 10cm3 of
distilled water and shake well.
