StructuredPast exam questionForm 5 · BGCSE

Study the flow chart: mixture of gas F + gas H ⇌ ammonium salt G (cool/heat); G dissolves in water; with aqueous sodium hydroxide it gives gas H, which with aqueous copper(II) sulphate gives a deep blue solution; with acidified silver nitrate it gives white precipitate I. The letters F–I are not the chemical symbols for the substances.

Picture for this question
  1. aWhat is the name of gas H evolved in the reaction? [1]
  2. bDescribe the colour change when a drop of Universal Indicator is added to a solution of gas H. [1]
  3. cGive the name and formula of the cation present in salt G. [2]
  4. dName the white precipitate I. [1]
  5. eName the change which occurs when salt G is heated. [1]
