IQ1: How are ions present in the environment identified and measured?
Students:
● conduct qualitative investigations – using flame tests, precipitation and complexation reactions as appropriate – to test for the presence in aqueous solution of the following ions:
– cations: barium (Ba2+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), lead(II) (Pb2+), silver ion (Ag+), copper(II) (Cu2+), iron(II) (Fe2+), iron(III) (Fe3+)
This is the scaffold for the identification of cations in solution.
This is a lengthier description of anion and cation tests produced by the DoE.
