Does anyone have any good ways of remembering what the colour of the flames or precipitates will be for identifying cations and anions?
I have one for test of cations for lithium and what colour it forms:
Li+tle RED riding hood
The one I need for Cations:
Sodium ion, Na+, gives a yellow flame
Potassium ions, K+, gives a lilac flame
Calcium ions, Ca2+, gives a orange-red flame
Copper ions, Cu2+, gives a blue-green flame
The one's I need for Anions: Using silver nitrate solution
A chloride gives a white precipitate of silver chloride
A bromide gives a cream precipitate of silver bromide
An Iodide gives a yellow precipitate of silver iodide
Thanks guys!!!
