* print this sheet out to work on or just take a piece of looseleaf and do it from here

List some properties that could be used to construct diagnostic tests to identify the type of solute in each of the following solutions.

1. an aqueous solution of a molecular substance
 
 
 
 
 

2. an aqueous solution of a neutral ionic compound
 
 
 
 
 

3. an aqueaous solution of an acid
 
 
 
 

4. an aqueous solution of a base
 
 
 
 
 

Each of the following pure substances is placed in a water enviroment. For each mixture, list the major entities present. The solubility of ionic compounds can be obtained form a solubility table. Solubility of selected molecular compounds requires memorization.

5. ammonia                                            6. silver sulfate
 
 
 
 

7. hydorgen chloride                              8. sodium tetraborate
 
 
 
 

9. barium hydroxide                               10. propane
 
 
 
 

11. aluminum                                         12. magnesium phophate
 
 
 
 
 

13. sodium stearate                                 14. hydrogen nitrate
