Chemistry Poem on QA!

Cl gas is greenish-yellow,
Moist litmus turns red and bleached?
Well, it's a positive test for our electronegative fellow!

Could it be SO2?
Smells as sulfur burns,
When tested with litmus,
Red the indicator turns.
Potassium manganate VII,
Purple to colourless,
Oh! How could I forget?
From orange to green,
Goes potassium dichromate VI,
To prove a gas that goes unseen!

Oxygen will relight a glowing splint,

What’s going to happen to hydrogen here?
Take your first hint!
Lit splint, blue burning flame,
Will explode,
But under what conditions?
If you leave it to be exposed!

Lit splint, burning blue flame,

Yellow sulphur deposits, litmus red,
Hydrogen sulphide’s the name!
Filter paper soaked in the ethanoate or nitrate V of lead,
Black or dark brown,
The paper is coloured instead.

If it’s black it’s an oxide or sulphide being viewed,

Okay, but if it’s green?
Possibly a copper salt or an iron II,
But know that copper salts
Can also be blue.

Did you just say you heated it in a dry test tube?

If you got a white sublimate, chances are it was a salt of NH4,
Yellow hot or white cold is the oxide of zinc,
Red-brown hot or yellow cold is lead oxide,
Just remember, these things are never for you to drink!
But what about the flame test?
With concentrated HCl? On the platinum/nichrome wire?
Here’s this information to digest:
Bright yellow, sodium.
Bluish colour is lead,
Red, Ca and violet, potassium.
By now these facts should be stuck in your head.

Using HCl and barium chloride?

Or even HNO3 and barium nitrate?
There’s no way that sulphate VI will hide.

Confirm any lead!

Add some potassium iodide solution to that,
“Yellow precipitate you will see,” all the chemists said.
