Tabulate your results
2. Use the results of your tests and your research to identify unknown substances A–D and X–Z.
Always document results with colour changes from and to
CPAC 4b – Obtains accurate, precise and sufficient data for experimental and investigative procedures and records this methodically using appropriate units and conventions.
Record information in a tables or appropriately
Record colour changes for organic tests from and to (must be from to!)
Record colour changes for inorganic tests from and to (must be from to!)
Record flame test colours.
Record positive and negative results
Understands negative results are important in identifying unknowns
CPAC 5b – Sources of information are cited demonstrating that research has taken place, supporting planning and conclusions
· Clearly identifie any material that is a direct quote as such.
· Citation within text as necessary
· Use research to support their identification of organic and inorganic unknowns
· Use research to support any conclusions drawn
· Compile a bibliography of texts from which material has been sourced in such a way that the reader may retrieve the information easily.
1. When testing an inorganic compound for the presence of halide ions, why is nitric acid added before adding silver nitrate?
2. What further test could you do to distinguish between sulfate(VI) ions and sulfate(IV) ions?
3. Outline a further test that you could use to identify the presence of an aldehyde group.
