--> Place a small spatula measure of FB 5 in a boiling tube, add a 1cm depth of dilute hydrochloric acid and warm the contents of the tube gently.
Observation : FB 5 + HCl: effervescence/ fizzing/ bubbling gas pops with lighted splint
-->Place small spatula measures of FB 5 and FB 6 in a single boiling tube. Use a test-tube holder to hold the tube. Add a 2cm depth of aqueous sodium hydroxide. CARE
Observation: FB 5 + FB 6 + NaOH: vigorous / violent/ exothermic / great/ extreme/ lots of and effervescence/ fizzing/ bubbling gas/NH3 turns (damp) red litmus (paper) blue.
How do we identify FB 5 is???
Fb5 is Al or Zn (s)
Is there a logical way to deduce this???
--> "Al and Zn reduce NO3- to ammonia in basic solutions"?
I searched, found out that this reaction is called "a nitrate test using Devarda's alloy", but there is no specific description of the process in our syllabus so how do the examiners expect us to know this!!
