2 Solid L is a mixture of two compounds. The compounds contain the same positive ion but
different negative ions.
The table shows the tests a student does on L.
Complete the table by adding the observations for each of tests (a) and (c) and the conclusion for
test (b).
Any gases formed should be named and identified by a suitable test and observation.
[2]
(b) To a portion of the
solution from (a) in a test-
tube, dilute nitric acid
is added, followed by
aqueous barium nitrate.
[2]
(c)(i) To a portion of the
solution from (a) in a test-
tube, aqueous ammonia
is added until a change is
seen.
2+
(ii) An excess of aqueous L contains Cu ions.
ammonia is added to the
mixture from (i). [3]

2 A student is given compound M which contains a cation and an anion. He does the following
tests to identify the two ions.
(a) A sample of M is dissolved in water. The solution is
...............................................................................................................................................[1]
3
(b) To a test-tube containing 1 cm of aqueous M, a small volume of aqueous sodium hydroxide
is added.
A white precipitate is produced. The precipitate is soluble in excess aqueous sodium
hydroxide.
Suggest two cations which could be present in aqueous M.
(c) What further test should the student do with aqueous M to identify which of the two cations
suggested in (b) is present in M?
