Answer:

Flame test is one of the chemical tests that can be used to identify a metal or metaloid

in an ionic compound.

Explanation:

Flame test is guided by a principle that when an unknown metal is heated, heat of the flame converts the metal ions into atoms which become excited and emit visible light.

To carry out flame test in a laboratory the following instruments are required:

--> a wire loop

--> Bunsen burner

--> the chemical compound under observation

--> protective wears.

The procedure involves the following steps:

--> turn on the Bunsen burner and adjust the barrel of the burner roll the flame is blue.

--> using a clean wire loop deep into a beaker containing hydrochloric acid.

--> to ensure that the loop is clean, it will give the same blue colour of the flame when heated.

--> deep the loop in the acid again and then use it to pick few grains of the metal.

--> place the wire loop in the side of the flame and observe the colour of the flame.

Result of flame tests of some metallic ion will show the following:

--> sodium ion will give yellow colour flame

--> potassium ion will give lilac colour flame

--> calcium ion will give orange-red colour flame

Which of the following salts will be less soluble in 0.10 M NaCl than it is in pure water?
MariettaO [177]

The less soluble salt : PbCl₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

0.1 M NaCl

Required

The less soluble salt

Solution

If we see from the answer option, the salt that is more difficult to dissolve in NaCl is PbCl₂ because it has the same ion (Cl)

When PbCl₂ is dissolved in water, ionization will occur

PbCl₂ ⇒ Pb²⁺+ 2Cl⁻

So, when dissolved in NaCl, NaCl itself will be ionized

NaCl ⇒ Na⁺ + Cl⁻

Based on the principle of equilibrium, the addition of an ion (one of the ions is enlarged), the reaction will shift towards the ion that was not added. In addition to this Cl ion, the reaction will shift to the left so that the solubility of PbCl₂ will decrease (the reaction to the right decreases)

If every oxygen ion is combined with an aluminium ion has a charge of -2,the charge of each aluminum ion would be -3.

Uncharged Aluminum atom must need to lose it's electrons,in order to form the bond with oxygen which has vacant orbitals


ion

atom that has a positive or negative charge because it lost or gained one or more electrons

chemical bond

the attractive force that holds atoms or ions together

ionic bond

a chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron and the other atom gains electrons to form ions

chemical formula

a combination of chemical symbols and numbers to represent a substance

covalent bond

bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms
