UNKOWN CHEMICAL FINAL!!!
« on: June 04, 2007, 09:13:42 PM »
hi my name is Albert and my class is also doing the mystery chemical "final." I was wondering if you could also help me with my chemical. I've been working on it for days without any progress and each test results in different information. I see that Ardyduh1manparty has gotten a jump on his chemical so i will describe mine too.

Chemical
-blue/green colored crystal
-in flame test produces yellow sparks (i think it could be magnesium or nickel or iron)
-did an acetate test (H2SO4 + Ethanol) and got a vodka/vinegar smell
-solubility: slightly soluble in water and  acetic acid, and soluble in nitric and alcohol
- my final chemical choices: Copper (II) Acetate * H2O
                                      Iron (II) Chloride * 4H2O
                                      Iron (II) Sulfate * 7H2O
                                      Nickel (II) Acetate

I NEED HELP BY THIS FRIDAY
i have been checking my results with my flame test and colored compound

thanks!!

OK so it turns blue when the mystery chemical is added to ammonium hydroxide. This could be copper and i did a acetate test on it and it did smell like vinegar, so i just want to know if my other results match?
THANKS..whoa
