describe and explain the reactions of halide ions with: (a) aqueous silver ions followed by aqueous ammonia (the formation and formula of the \([Ag(NH_3)_2]^+\) complex is not required) (b) concentrated sulfuric acid, to include balanced chemical equations
describe and explain: (a) the basicity of ammonia, using the Brønsted–Lowry theory (b) the structure of the ammonium ion and its formation by an acid–base reaction (c) the displacement of ammonia from ammonium salts by an acid–base reaction
deduce the presence of a CH\(_3\)CH(OH)- group in an alcohol, CH\(_3\)CH(OH)-R, from its reaction with alkaline I\(_2\)(aq) to form a yellow precipitate of tri-lodomethane and an ion, \( RCO_2^-\)
