Solution

  1. The cation identified by a yellow flame in a flame test is Sodium, Na+.

  2. The term 'precipitate' refers to an insoluble solid.

  3. The metal ions that all form white precipitates when added to sodium hydroxide solution are Al3+, Mg2+ and Ca2+.

  4. To test whether a white precipitate formed in sodium hydroxide solution is the calcium Ca2+ ion, you would observe that it does not dissolve in excess NaOH and burns with no colour.

  5. The metal ion that forms a green precipitate when added to sodium hydroxide solution is Iron (II), Fe2+.

  6. The balanced equation, with state symbols, for the reaction of iron(II) chloride with sodium hydroxide solution is FeCl2 (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) → 2NaCl (aq) +Fe(OH)2 (s).

A colorless aqueous solution contains nitrates of two metals, X and Y. When it was added to an aqueous solution of NaCl, a white precipitate was formed. This precipitate was found to be partly soluble in hot water to give a residue P and a solution Q. The residue P was soluble in aq. NH3 and also in excess sodium thiosulfate. The hot solution Q gave a yellow precipitate with KI. The metals X and Y, respectively, are4 pointsAg and PbAg and CdCd and PbCd and Zn
