Take Home Work
1. At the beginning of the semester, you performed two different qualitative analysis tests on a set of
solutions: a) 0.1 M AgNO3 (aq), and, b) 1 M HCl (aq). Use your data/results from Experiments #1
to complete this table.

3. Based on the equations you have written and on the solubility rules, explain whether or not the
positive and negative results seem reasonable for the AgNO3 test. Do you have any results that do
not seem consistent with the reactivity guidelines and solubility rules?
4. Explain whether or not the positive and negative results seem reasonable for the HCl test. Do you
have any results that do not seem consistent with the reactivity guidelines and solubility rules?

6. Big picture generalizations. (Hint: it may help to refer to page 4.)
a.
Write the net ionic chemical equation for the generic reaction of an acid (H) with a metal (M).
In this case, assume that the metal forms a 2 charge when it reacts.
b. Both carbonate CO32- and hydrogen carbonate HCO3- react with acids. Write net ionic
chemical equation for the generic reaction of an acid (H’) with each.
