Identification of ions by chemical and spectroscopic means
Question
- A. White
- B. Cream
- C. Yellow
- D. Blue
Answer
The correct answer is Cream. It matches halide ion because the evidence is silver nitrate after acidifying and the expected result is precipitate colour.
Explanation
The correct option is Cream. The answer stays inside Identification of ions by chemical and spectroscopic means by linking the observation to the conclusion instead of naming a substance without evidence. Other options are weaker when they confuse gas tests, flame colours, ion-test precipitates, chromatography evidence, or pure-substance/formulation wording.
Common mistake
Bromide Precipitate Confusion
Students often confuse the precipitate produced by bromide ions with that of chloride ions, thinking both produce a white precipitate.
Remember that bromide ions produce a cream precipitate, while chloride ions produce a white precipitate. Visual aids or color charts can help reinforce this distinction.
