Qualitative Analysis of Ions - Numerical Applications
Q. In a titration to identify chloride ions, which indicator is commonly used?
-
A.
Phenolphthalein
-
B.
Methyl orange
-
C.
Silver nitrate
-
D.
Chromate
Solution
Chromate is used as an indicator in titrations involving chloride ions, as it forms a colored precipitate with silver ions.
Correct Answer: D — Chromate
Q. In UV-Vis spectroscopy, what does a peak at 260 nm typically indicate?
-
A.
Presence of proteins
-
B.
Presence of nucleic acids
-
C.
Presence of carbohydrates
-
D.
Presence of lipids
Solution
A peak at 260 nm in UV-Vis spectroscopy typically indicates the presence of nucleic acids, as they absorb light at this wavelength.
Correct Answer: B — Presence of nucleic acids
Q. What is the main advantage of using ion chromatography for qualitative analysis?
-
A.
High sensitivity
-
B.
Ability to analyze gases
-
C.
Separation of ions in a single run
-
D.
Low cost
Solution
Ion chromatography allows for the separation of multiple ions in a single run, making it efficient for qualitative analysis.
Correct Answer: C — Separation of ions in a single run
Q. What is the primary purpose of using a flame test in qualitative analysis?
-
A.
To determine the concentration of ions
-
B.
To identify the presence of specific metal ions
-
C.
To separate different ions
-
D.
To measure the pH of a solution
Solution
A flame test is used to identify the presence of specific metal ions based on the characteristic colors they emit when heated in a flame.
Correct Answer: B — To identify the presence of specific metal ions

-
A.
Sodium
-
B.
Calcium
-
C.
Iron
-
D.
Potassium
Solution
Iron can be detected using colorimetric methods, as it forms colored complexes with specific reagents.
Correct Answer: C — Iron
