CSEC Chemistry · May/June 2015 · Paper 2 · Question 1(c)(iii)

A student performed tests on a solid mixture labeled Q. Some observations and inferences are recorded in Table 2.

Complete Table 2 by inserting the inferences or observations as necessary for the test: Dilute nitric acid followed by a few drops of silver nitrate solution was added to Q. The test tube was left standing in light for 5 minutes. Ammonium hydroxide was then added to the resulting mixture.
