Confirmatory test:
1). Gp. 0- salt + NaOH + Nessler’s reagent-brown ppt. (NH4+)

2). Gp. 1- salt+ water+ potassium chromate/KI – yellow ppt. (Pb+2)

3). Gp.2-a) salt+ water+ acetic acid + potassium ferrocyanide – chocolate brown ppt. (Cu+2)
(when black ppt comes)

4). Gp.3- a) salt+ water + blue litmus sol.-blue lake (Al+3), cobalt nitrate test- blue mass

b). ppt+HNO3+potassium ferrocyanide - deep blue (Fe+3)

5). Gp.4-a) ppt + HCl+ potassium ferrocyanide - bluish white ppt (Zn+2),

cobalt nitrate test- green mass

b).ppt + NaOH-white ppt on standing brown (Mn+2)

c). ppt+ water+ NaOH-blue color, on adding HCl-original pink (Co+2)

d). ppt + NH4OH+ DMG-pink color (Ni+2)


6). Gp. 5. ppt. + acetic acid, divide into three parts a) to one part add k2CrO4 yellow ppt.Ba+2

b) Second part adds amm. Sulphate-white ppt.Sr+2 c) Third part –add amm.oxalate-white
