Nitrate (NO3-1), Nitrite (NO2-1) Red in Acid (below pH 4)
Ammonium (NH4+1), Mangnate(VII) MnO4-1) Orange/Yellow in Alkali (above pH 4)
Hydroxide (OH-1), Dichromate(VI) (Cr2O7-2) Phenolpthalein
Hydrogensulfate (HSO4-1), Pink in Alkali (Above pH 8)
ACIDS (They produce H+1 ions when dissolved in water) Colorless in Acid (Below pH 8)
Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) Universal Indicator
Nitric Acid (HNO3), Nitrous Acid (HNO2) Strong Acid (Red), Weak Acid (Orange)
Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4), Sulphurous Acid (H2SO3) Weak Alkali (Blue), Strong Alkali (Purple)
Phosphoric Acid (H3PO4), Phosphorous Acid Neutral (Green)
(H3PO3) REACTIVITY SERIES/EASE OF DISCHARGE
Carbonic Acid (H2CO3) (most reactive) K, Na, Ca, Mg, Al, (C), Zn, Fe, Sn, Pb, (H)
BASES/ALKALIS Cu, Ag, Au, Pt (least reactive)
NH3/NH4OH, Metal Oxides and Metal Hydroxides are all EASE OF DISCHARGE OF ANIONS
Bases. Bases that dissolve in water are alkalis – All I-1, Br-1, OH-1, Cl-1, SO4-2, NO3-1 etc (underlined ions get
Gp1/NH4+ Hydroxides are soluble and those lower down in discharged when present in concentrated amount)
GpII (Ba(OH)2, Sr(OH)2 & partially Ca(OH)2) EXTRACTION OF IRON
SOLUBILITY OF SALTS Iron Ore (Haematite) – Fe2O3 is reduced with Coke
All nitrate/Gp1 and NH4+ compounds are soluble (Carbon) in blast furnace.
All sulphate salts are soluble except PbSO4, BaSO4 & Fe2O3 + C -> Fe + CO2
partially CaSO4 Fe2O3 + CO -> Fe + CO2
All carbonate and phosphate salts are insoluble except Calcium Carbonate is added to the blast furnace to get rid
Group 1 and NH4+1 salts of sand SiO2
Group 1 and NH4+1 salts are all soluble CaCO3 -> CaO + CO2 (decomposes due to heat)
All chlorides/bromides/iodides are soluble except Ag+1, CaO + SiO2 -> CaSiO3 (which forms slag)
Pb+2 salts. Heat is produced in blast furnace when Coke (Carbon)
o AgCl, PbCl2 are white ppt soluble in dilute combusts in hot air.
NH3(aq) EXTRACTION OF ALUMINIUM
o AgBr, PbBr2 are cream ppt soluble in
concentrated NH3(aq)
o AgI, PbI2 are yellow ppt insoluble in NH3(aq)
REACTIONS OF ACIDS/BASES
Acid + Base -> Salt + water
Acid + Metal carbonate -> Salt + Water + CO2
Acid + Metal -> Salt + H2
Acid + NH3 -> Ammonium Salt
Ammonium Salt + Base/Alkali -> Salt + Ammonia
Bauxite is Al2O3. Al2O3 is amphoteric and is dissolved in
+ Water
NaOH. Other metal oxides which are basic don’t dissolve
Metal Carbonate Metal Oxide + CO2
and are filtered out.
Metal Nitrate Metal Oxide + NO2 + O2 (For Cryolite Na3AlF6 is added to reduce melting point.
Metals other than Group1) Graphite anode burns away (C+O2->CO2)
Metal Nitrate Metal Nitrite + O2 (For Group1 Cathode: 4Al+3 + 12e -> 4Al
Metals) Anode: 6O-2 -> 3O2 + 12e
