Why is sodium hydroxide or ammonia a suitable reagent for cation testing?

Sodium hydroxide solution often produces a precipitate when mixed with a solution containing a metal cation. The colour of this solid is indicative of which cation you have, for instance copper hydroxide is light blue and iron(II) hydroxide is green. Ammonium hydroxide can also produce these precipitates, but the reactions are sometimes more complex.

They are not soluble, therefore they do not precipitate or form a color....a.k.a....no reaction...


What 2 solutions can be used to test for carbon dioxide?

lime water turns milky in the presence of CO2 Limewater (a solution of Calcium hydroxide) - when carbon dioxide is blown through the solution, a precipitate of Calcium carbonate is produced. The solution is said to turn "milky" or "cloudy". Bromothymol blue (pH range 2.4 to 4.6) (red in colour) is added to distilled water, which turns it yellow. Carbon dioxide turns the resulting yellow solution green.

What results from copper II nitrate reacting with sodium hydroxide?

Solutions of copper (II) compounds will undergo precipitation reactions with sodium hydroxide solution when mixed together to produce a bright blue precipitate of copper (II) hydroxide and a solution of a sodium salt.The chemical equations for the reaction between Copper (II) nitrate and Sodium hydroxide are as follows:Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) → Cu(OH)2 (s) + 2NaNO3 (aq)Copper II nitrate + sodium hydroxide → copper II hydroxide + sodium nitrate
