2 9729/04/CJC JC2 Preliminary Examinations 2025 Answer all the questions in the spaces provided. 1 Investigation of an organic compound and an inorganic compound FA 1 is an aqueous solution that contains a mixture of salts with two cations and one anion listed in the Qualitative Analysis Notes. FA 2 is an aqueous solution of an organic compound, X, with only one functional group present. You will perform tests to identify: • the ions present in FA 1. • the functional group of X in FA 2. (a) (i) Carry out the following tests. Carefully record your observations in Tables 1.1 and 1.2. The volumes given below are approximate and should be estimated rather than measured. Test and identify any gases evolved. If there is no observable change, write no observable change. Table 1.1 tests observations 1 To 1 cm depth of FA 1 in a boiling tube, add aqueous sodium hydroxide until there is no further change. Heat the boiling tube gently. 2 To 1 cm depth of FA 1 in a test-tube, add a few drops of Ba(NO3)2 (aq). Then, add excess nitric acid. 3 To 1 cm depth of FA 1 in a test-tube, add excess aqueous hydrogen peroxide until no further change. From your observations, identify the ions present in FA 1. The cations are ......................... and ...................... . The anion is ..................................... . [7]
