1. Which liquid identifies Powder A? What reaction did you observe that confirms the identity of Powder A?

 

2. Which liquid identifies Powder B? What reaction did you observe that confirms the identity of Powder B?

 

3. Which liquid identifies Powder C? What reaction did you observe that confirms the identity of Powder C?

 

4. Which liquid/liquids identifies Powder X1? What reaction did you observe that confirms the identity of Powder X1?

 

5. Which liquid/liquids identifies Powder X2? What reaction did you observe that confirms the identity of Powder X2?

 

6. Did you have a hypothesis in your mind as you did the experiment? If so, what was it? Can you now conclude which powders are in X1 and X2?
