Dil H2SO4
Conc. H2SO4
If no anions are detected with dil. H2SO4 and conc. H2SO4 then the anion is SO4 2-
Salt analysis/savitri/ 2021
Wet test for anions (confirmatory test for anions )
Preparation of sodium carbonate extract
Mix 1 spatula of salt with 2 spatula of solid sodium carbonate in an evaporating dish. To this add
one test tube of water and boil for 10 mins. Cool then filter. This filtrate is sodium carbonate
extract.
Confirmatory Test for CO32-
Test Observation
Take small quantity of salt. To this add dil. Lime water turns milky
H2SO4 pass the gas evolved through lime
water
Identification of cations
Preparation of original solution (OS)
To maximum quantity of salt add minimum quantity of water to make OS
Group 3
Test Observation Inference
To the OS add solid NH4Cl White ppt Group 3 present
and excess NH4OH
Filter the solution to obtain
ppt. Blue lake obtained
Dissolve the ppt in dil.HCl
and then add few drops of Al3+ present and confirmed
blue litmus solution. To this
add excess NH4OH solution.
Group 5
Test Observation Inference
To the OS add solid NH4Cl White ppt Group 5 present
,excess NH4OH and
(NH4)2CO3
Filter the solution to obtain
ppt.
Dissolve the ppt in acetic acid
to obtain clear solution.
Divide it into 3 parts
