In Experiment 1 it's EXOTHERMIC because it's a line sloping upwards i.e. the temperature increases with time meaning the reaction is producing heat
In Experiment 2, it's a ENDOTHERMIC because it's a line sloping downwards i.e. the temperature decreases with time meaning the reaction is ABSORBING heat from the mixture

Wow how didn't I see that.. thanks.

P.S.
I LOVE YOUR SIGNATURE!

Haha, thanks. Your's is pretty funny as well x)

Thanks Zain :p Gotta love Stewie:love:
I give up on trying to beat Wow at getting answers in first ^^
Also, correction, the reaction between ammonia and nitric acid is:
NH4OH + HNO3-> H2O + NH4NO3

I actually have a question myself if anyone can answer, but not to do with ions and I doubt it's even in syllabus.
Why does density of group 1 elements decrease down the group? Is it because atoms have larger shells thus in the same volume there's less atoms?
But the fact that the mass of each atom increases downwards as well should mean that it's countered. >.<

Well lets see who answers this first..

Q5)d) Explain this one please..and Q6)b) What test is this? THey just heated copper oxide...how are we supposed to know the color change?

Go down the group - Increase in mass
Density = Mass/ Volume
So the increase in mass crosses increase in volume and so the denisty increases as we go down

Okay then
(iii*) shows that Nitrate is present. It's most likely D since all nitrates are soluble
(v) shows that limewater is present since it turns milky. Limewater is calcium hydroxide.
*Edit
(iv) actually supports (v). Since it's alkaline it supports the theory that calcium hydroxide is present

And as for q6b, it'd change from black to reddish-brown, and i'm afraid that's just a case of knowing the colours of copper oxide and copper

Understood everything besides how (iii) shows that nitrate is present..
And for the copper thing, okay.. I'll remember that. Any other colors of metals/oxides I should remember? (That aren't present in tests for anions/cations)

iii)
The test for nitrate is to add sodium hydroxide, aluminium and warm gently. If nitrate is presence ammonia is produced - and you can tell ammonia is produced by the alkaline pH (turns litmus paper blue) AFAIK there are no other alkaline gasses (at least in our syllabus).
So in iii they did the test and ammonia was produced

AH! Now it makes sense, thanks.
STAY TUNED! I'll be back with more questions x)
