It is only since the nineteenth century that houses have commonly been painted. Today paints are used for colouring and protecting many surfaces, including houses, cars, road markings and underground storage vessels. Each of […]

Testing for Cations By Sodium Hydroxide & Ammonia Precipitates [Infographic]
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) solution or aqueous Ammonia solution can be added to the solutions containing metal ions in order to discern their identity. The colour precipitate from by the reaction can be used to determine the metal identity. In some cases, the precipitate dissolves in excess NaOH and Ammonia. In the following Test for Cations […]

Colours of Transition Metal Ions in Aqueous Solution [Infographic]
Transition Metals form coloured compounds and complexes. These colours can be vary depending on the charge on metal ion, and the number and type of groups of atoms (called ligands) attached to the metal ion. In aqueous solutions, the ions form colours with complexes. Electrons are arranged around the nucleus of the metal atom in orbitals, […]
