Identifying Ionic Compounds
Identifying Ionic Compounds
Written by Ashleigh Lara.
In our experiment we were given 5 different cations who’s mixture of anions ranged from five to three different solutions. At every single station we were given the following materials a spot plate, a dropper, and the chemicals used to mix with our main substance. Each substance received 3 drops of the different chemicals which were able to give us an observation of what the compound was made into. Many of our experiments color, texture and solubility changed because of the properties that came from the other solution.
In station 1 , we were given the element Silver (Ag) which was first mixed with chloride (Cl). Together the two mixtures created a very white, milky type which is known by the name of Silver Chloride (AgCl). Iodine (I) was then mixed with silver to create a yellowish, whitish color which is normally called Silver Iodine (AgI). The mixture followed is Silver Oxide (Ag2O) which happens to contain hydroxide (OH) as well a silver. This compound ended up turning a very grey-brown like color as well as being gritty. Silver carbonate (Ag2CO3) is one of the very many compound that are mixed with something that doesn’t cancel therefore you switch the charge making silver contain positive 2 other than nothing. Its color was a mustard like yellow, that was very watery. At last we were given Phosphate to be mix into our element, the color turn into a yellow color as well ,yet it didn’t dissolve quiet as much as the others. This element is fairly known as Silver Phosphate (Ag3(PO4).
In station 2, our element was Lead (Pb), this element isn’t a transition metal yet has all the following properties to be ones so it contains roman numerals. which was first mixed with chloride (Cl). Together the two mixtures created a very white, milky type which is known by the name of Lead (II) Chloride (PbCl2). Iodine (I) was then mixed with Lead to create a yellowish, whitish color which is normally called Lead (II) Iodine
