Aflame test of a colorless solution gives a bright yellow color. when reacted with agno3 a white precipitate forms that dissolves hno3 is added. when hcl is added to the unknown solution, bubbles form. what is the compound in the colorless solution? 1 following 1 answer

The compound is Na2CO3

Explanation:

A flame test of a colorless solution gives a bright yellow color. The yellow color shows the presence of Sodium.

NaX + AgNO3 → AgX + NaNO3

When reacted with AgNO3 a white precipitate.

AgX + HNO3 → AgNO3 + H2O + CO2

A white precipitate will be formed when AgNO3 reacts with Sodium Chloride (NaCl) or Sodium carbonate(Na2CO3). (Also NaF, Na3PO4 are possible).

When HCL is added to the unknown solution, bubbles form.

Forming bubbles means that there is formed CO2 (and H20)

Na2X + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2O + CO2

To form CO2 there is carbon needed

This shows that X is CO3 and the compound is Na2CO3

To control:

Na2CO3 + AgNO3 → Ag2CO3 + NaNO3

⇒Ag2Co3 is the white precipitate formed

This precipitate Ag2CO3 + HNO3 will disolve in AgNO3, CO2 and H2O

When Na2CO3 reacts with HCl there is formed NaCL together with bubbles ( which is CO2 and H2O).

The compound is Na2CO3

it should be p1 v1 = p2 v2
