    The document describes experiments performed to analyze an unknown green solid salt sample. Various tests were conducted including heating, flame tests, and reactions with acids and bases. The tests indicated the presence of nickel (Ni2+) and chloride (Cl-). A confirmatory test for nickel using dimethyl glyoxime produced a rose red precipitate, confirming the identity of nickel. Based on the results, the salt was identified as nickel chloride (NiCl2).

    Aim: To analyse the given salt for acid radicals and basic radicals

    Physical Characteristics:
    State: Solid
    Colour: Green
    Odour: No characteristic smell
    Solubility: Soluble in water
    Experiment Observation Inference

    1. Dry test tube heating: Green colour turns white Ni2+, Cu2+ may be present

    A pinch of the sample is heated in


    a dry test tube

    2. Flame Test:

    Flame test is performed with No characteristic flame is Cu2+, Ca2+ ,Ba2+, Sr2+, Pb2+ may be
    conc. HCl observed absent

    3. Borax bead test:

    A. Colour of the bead in Oxidising Violet when hot, brown when


    flame- cold
    Ni2+ may be present
    B. Colour of the bead in Reducing Black when hot, opaque when
    flame- cold

    4. Dil. H2SO4 test: No characteristic observation CO32-, S2-, NO2-, SO32- may be
    absent
    A pinch of the sample is added to
    dil. H2SO4 in a test tube and then
    it is heated

    5. Conc. H2SO4 test: Colourless gas with pungent Cl- may be present
    smell; deep white fumes when a
    A pinch of the sample is added to
    glass rod dipped in NH4OH is held
    conc. H2SO4 in a test tube and
    at the mouth of the test tube
    then it is heated

    6. Confirmatory test for Cl-: A white ppt. soluble in NH4OH is Cl- is present and confirmed
    obtained.
    An aqueous solution of the
    sample is acidified with dil.HNO3
    in a test tube and AgNO3 solution
    is added

    7. Test for NH4+: No ammonia gas is evolved NH4+ is absent

    A pinch of the sample is heated


    with conc. NaOH solution

    8. Preparation of Original Solution is obtained It is labelled as Original Solution


    Solution (O.S.): (O.S.)

    A small portion of the sample is


    dissolved in water by shaking and
    the following tests are carried out
    with this solution

    9. To a part of the O.S., 1-2 ml of No ppt. is formed Group I is absent (Pb2+ is absent)
    dil. HCl is added
    10. Through the above solution, No ppt. is formed Group II absent (Pb2+,Cu2+ absent)
    H2S is passed

    11. To the remaining solution, No ppt. is formed Group III absent (Fe3+, Al3+
    Small amount of solid NH4Cl is absent)
    added, Solution is boiled, cooled
    and excess NH4OH is added

    12. Through the above solution, A black ppt. is formed Group IV present (Co2+,Ni2+
    H2S is passed present)

    (Since the colour of the salt is


    Green)

    13. Confirmatory test for Ni2+:


    A rose red ppt. is formed Ni2+ is confirmed
    (i) To a part of O.S., NH4OH
    solution is added and then few
    drops of Dimethyl glyoxime is
    added

    Result: The given salt contains Ni 2+ as basic radical and Cl- as acid radicals. Therefore, the given salt is
    NiCl2
