    The document analyzes a simple salt through a series of tests to identify the cation and anion. It describes tests showing the salt is white with no odor, is light, and gives a brick red flame test indicating calcium. Dilute and concentrated sulfuric acid tests produced gas that turned limewater milky, confirming the presence of carbonate. Further tests ruled out other ions and confirmed the salt contains calcium and carbonate.

    Analysis of a Simple Salt- Calcium Carbonate

    Aim: To analyse the given simple salt and to report the cation and anion with a systemic procedure.
    Apparatus required: Test tubes, Boiling tubes, test tube stand, watch glass, spatula, and the required
    chemicals.
    S.No Experiment Observation Inference
    Prelimiary tests:
    1 Colour White Absence of Cu2+,Fe2+ ,Fe3+
    2 Odour/ Smell No characteristic smell Absence of NH4+ cation
    3 Density Light CO32- may be present
    3 Flame Test: Salt + Conc. HCl Brick red coloured flame Presence of Ca2+
     made into a thin paste and
    introduced into the flame.
    4 Dilute H2SO4 test: A small Evolution of gas which turns Presence of CO32-
    amount of salt + 2ml of dil. lime water milky
    H2SO4.
    5 Conc. H2SO4 test: Salt + 2 Evolution of gas which turns Presence of CO32-
    drops of Conc.H2SO4. lime water milky
    Analysis of anion
    6 Barium chloride test: No Characteristic observation Absence of SO42-
    Salt + dil. HCl + BaCl2 solution.
    7 Copper turnings test: No Characteristic observation Absence of NO3-
    Salt + few copper turnings +
    heated with 2 drops of
    Conc.H2SO4 and heated.
    8 Silver Nitrate test No Characteristic observation Absence of Cl-
    Salt + Dil.HNO3 + AgNO3
    9 Confirmatory test for Carbonate:
    (i) Dil.H2SO4 test Brisk effervescence with the Presence of CO32- is
    Salt + Dil.H2SO4 evolution of CO2 which turns confirmed
    lime water milky
    (ii) Salt + BaCl2 solution. White precipitate of BaCO3 Presence of CO32- is
    soluble in Dil.HCl confirmed
    The given anion is Carbonate
    Analysis of Cation
    Inter group separation
    10.Preparation of original solution: Original Solution is prepared by dissolving salt in water
    O.S + Nessler’s reagent No precipitate Absence of zero group
    Original solution + Dil.HCl No precipitate Absence of group I cation
    To the above solution passed No precipitate Absence of group II cation
    H2S gas
    Original solution + NH4Cl + No precipitate Absence of group III
    NH4OH cation
    To the above solution passed No precipitate Absence of group IV
    H2S gas cation
    Original solution + NH4OH + A white crystalline precipitate Presence of group V
    solid (NH4)2CO3 cation
    11. Confirmatory Test for Calcium Cation
    Salt + Ammonium oxalate A white precipitate of calcium Presence of Ca2+ is
    solution oxalate is obtained confirmed
    Flame Test: Salt + Conc. HCl Brick red coloured flame Presence of Ca2+ is
     made into a thin paste and confirmed
    introduced into the flame.
    The given cation is Calcium
    The given salt contains Calcium as Cation and Carbonate as anion
