TESTS TO IDENTIFY IONS
, AIMS
Flame tests can identify metal ions. Different colour flames identi
different metal ions.
Metal ions react with sodium hydroxide to form precipitates of m
hydroxides. Colours of these precipitates identify the presence of
ions.
Test for carbonates
Identifying halide ions
Test for sulphates
