Identification of ions and gases — practice question

A student carries out tests on two substances: solution A and solid B. Tests on solution A Solution A is aqueous iron(III) nitrate. Write down the expected observations. The student splits solution A into three roughly equal parts. Tests on solid B Table 3.1 gives the tests and the student's observations for solid B.
(a)[2]

Aqueous ammonia is added to the first portion of solution A first dropwise and then in excess. observations when added dropwise ________ observations in excess ________

(b(i))[1]

The second portion of solution A is treated with excess aqueous sodium hydroxide. observations ________

(b(ii))[1]

observations to record ________

(b(iii))[1]

Identify the gas released in (b)(ii).

(c)[1]

The third portion of solution A is treated with about 1 cm^{3} of dilute nitric acid, followed by a few drops of aqueous barium nitrate. observations ________

(d)[1]

Identify the gas released in test 2.

(e)[2]

Identify solid B.
