Identification of ions and gases — practice question

A student carries out an investigation on solution W and solid X.
(a(i))[2]

W is green and contains Fe$^{2+}$ ions. Explain how W can be tested to show that Fe$^{2+}$ ions are present.

(a(ii))[2]

Excess W is added to acidified aqueous potassium manganate(VII). Describe the colour change observed from [BLANK] to [BLANK].

(a(iii))[2]

Describe what is seen when a few drops of aqueous ammonia are added first, followed by excess aqueous ammonia, to the mixture from (ii).

(b(i))[3]

Name the gas made in test 1. Explain how the student checks the gas to confirm what it is. Include the confirming observation.

(b(ii))[1]

The observations for test 1 are not complete. State one further observation made in test 1.

(b(iii))[1]

State the conclusion reached from test 2.

(b(iv))[1]

State the conclusion reached from test 3.

(b(v))[1]

Identify the acid used in test 1.

(b(vi))[1]
