Answers available below

Answer ALL the questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided. (a) A student carried out tests on a solid compound, A, which contains one metal ion and one anion. These tests are described in parts (a)(i) and (a)(ii). Complete the table in each case by stating the inference(s) that would follow each observation made by the student. (i) A flame test was carried out on A. (1) Observation Inference Lilac flame The formula of the metal ion in A is (ii) A sample of A was heated in a test tube and the gas given off was tested with a glowing splint. (2)Observation Inferences The glowing splint re-lit The gas isThe formula of A could be*P48384A0220*<br />
 (b) A student carried out tests on an aqueous solution, B. These tests are described in parts (b)(i) and (b)(ii). Complete the table in each case by stating the inferences that would follow each observation made by the student. (i) A spatula measure of sodium hydrogencarbonate was added to a sample of solution B in a test tube. Any gas evolved was passed through limewater. (2) Observation Inferences Fizzing Limewater turned milky The gas evolved isTherefore solution B contains ions with the formula(ii) To another sample of solution B in a test tube, the student added dilute hydrochloric acid followed by aqueous barium chloride solution. (2) Observation A white precipitate formed Inferences The precipitate isSolution B is*P48384A0320* Turn over<br />
 (c) A liquid organic compound, W, has the displayed formula H H H C C C C H Complete the table by stating the observations you would expect to make when the tests described are carried out by a student. (6) Tests Observations In a test tube, shake a few drops of W with bromine water and record the colour change In a test tube, add a spatula measure of phosphorus(V) chloride to W Test any gas evolved with damp blue litmus paper In a test tube, add a mixture of dilute sulfuric acid and aqueous potassium dichromate(VI) to a sample of W and warm the mixture.
