2 © VJC 2023 9729/04/PRELIM/23 Answer all the questions in the spaces provided. 1 Inorganic and organic qualitative analysis In this question, you will carry out tests on two solutions, FA 1 and FA 3 , and make conclusions about them. Unless otherwise stated, the volumes given below are approximate and should be estimated rather than measured. Test and identity any gases evolved. If there is no observable change, write no observable change. (a) (i) FA 1 is an aqueous solution that contains two cations and one anion listed in the Qualitative Analysis notes. You will carry out the tests in Table 1.1, which will allow you to identify the two cations present in FA 1. Table 1.1 tests observations 1 Test the FA 1 solution using Universal Indicator paper. Using the colour chart provided, record the pH of the solution. 2 To 1 cm depth of FA 1 , add 1 cm depth of KI. Let the solution stand for 1 min and observe any colour change that occurs. To the resulting solution, add 5 drops of starch solution. 3 To 2 cm depth of FA 1, add aqueous ammonia dropwise with shaking till 4 cm depth of aqueous ammonia has been added. Swirl and filter the mixture, collecting the filtrate in a clean test -tube. The filtrate is FA 2 which should be put to one side for use in Test 4.
