ANSWERS TO REVISION WORKSHEET 19

01 B Iron (because zinc and magnesium produce colourless solutions and copper will not react with dilute
sulphuric acid.

02 A The Fe2+ ion is green in colour.

03 A The Fe(OH)2 formed is green

04 C A white precipitate (barium sulphate) is formed. No precipitate in the other 3 examples.

05 A If a white precipitate is formed with aqueous silver nitrate, it must be a chloride. If a white precipitate is
formed with dilute sulphuric it must contain barium – because magnesium sulphate is soluble in water.

06 A Warming X with aqueous sodium hydroxide to produce a gas which turned damp red litmus paper blue,
indicates the presence of the ammonium ion. Mixing aqueous X with acidified silver nitrate to produce a
white precipitate, indicates the presence of the chloride ion.

07 D A white precipitate with acidified aqueous barium nitrate indicates a sulphate. A white precipitate soluble
in an excess of aqueous sodium hydroxide indicates lead or zinc – but there is no lead in any of the
options. Therefore it must be zinc sulphate.

08 A Ammonia is the only common gas changes damp litmus paper from red to blue.

09 A The aluminium in an alkaline solution reduces sodium nitrate to ammonia

SECTION B

B1 (a) A white precipitate is formed, which dissolves in excess to form a colourless solution.

(b) There is effervescence, the gas evolved forms a white precipitate with lime water and the solution is
colourless.

(c) A white precipitate is formed.

(d) A white precipitate is formed.

B2 (a) Ammonia

(b) Carbon dioxide

(c) Hydrogen

(d) Chloride

(e) Copper(II) ion

B3 (a) (i) Barium sulphate (reaction between the barium ions in barium nitrate and the sulphate ions in F
(ii) Iron (II) hydroxide
(iii) Iron (III) hydroxide
(iv) Iron(II) sulphate

(b) Any one of the following

FeSO4 (aq) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq) → Fe(NO3)2 (aq) + BaSO4 (s)
FeSO4 (aq) + 2 NaOH (aq) → Fe(OH)2 (s) + Na2SO4 (aq)
