A
1a White precipitate is formed. [1]

1b White ppt soluble in excess NaOH to give colourless solution. [2]

2a White ppt. is formed. [1]

2b White ppt is insoluble in excess aq. NH3 [1]

3a White ppt is formed. [1]

3b No visible reaction is seen. [1]

4 Effervescence/bubbles is seen. [6]

The gas evolved turns moist blue litmus paper red. The gas evolved is acidic gas.
White ppt is formed when the gas is passed on to calcium hydroxide.

5a White ppt. is formed. [1]

5b White ppt. is soluble in excess NaOH to give colourless solution. [2]

6a White ppt is formed. [1]

6b White ppt is insoluble in excess aq. NH3. [1]

[2]
B R: SO42- ion S: CO32- ion.

C Add potassium iodide to both solution R and S. [3]

R: No visible reaction  suggest Al3+ ion is present

S: yellow precipitate is formed.  suggest Pb2+ ion is present

D R: Al2(SO4)3 [2]
S: PbCO3
Total: 25

- ½ m will be deducted if students write incomplete sentence.

E.g. white ppt soluble in excess. ( no mention of NaOH or aq NH3)
