Anions

Identification of gases e.g CO2, SO2 and O2. Characteristics test for anions e.g SO42-,SO32-,CO32-,NO-3, Cl–, etc. The anions are negatively change ions examples of anions are SO42-,SO32-,CO32-,S2- etc.   Identification of Gases Gases               identification H2 It gives a ‘pop’ sound when the gas is contact with a lighted splint. O2             It rekindles a glowing splint. CO2 It is colourless and odourless. It turns lime water milky. Cl2             A green wish yellow gas, it turns moist iodide paper black. SO2 Colourless gas with irritating smell. It turns damp blue litmus paper to red. That is acidic gas.   EVALUATION State two (2) examples of anions with their gases.
