Hi! I am doing the practical soon but need help with the preparation since our teacher just told us to 'do it' with a sheet of vague instructions. The aim is to distinguish 9 ionic compounds: potassium iodide, potassium chloride, potassium bromide, potassium sulfate, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, ammonium chloride, barium chloride and magnesium chloride. I know what tests to do, I just need help with a few things:
- In what order would I be doing the tests? It states to do them in a logical sequence to prevent too many tests being done unnecessarily.
- What would the results table look like (what things in the top and along the side).
Thanks!!
