This question is about chemical analysis.

Lithium chloride is used in some industrial processes.

A chemist tested a sample of a solid additive to show the presence of lithium ions and of chloride ions.

The sample is soluble in water.

a.

Plan a method the chemist could use to show that the sample contains lithium ions and chloride ions.

The chemist has:

  • a Bunsen burner
  • a metal wire
  • test tubes
  • a dropping pipette
  • distilled water
  • dilute nitric acid
  • silver nitrate solution.

You should give the results of the tests.

b.

Which instrumental method could be used to show the presence of lithium ions in the sample?

[1]
c.

Give one advantage of using this instrumental method instead of a chemical test.
