    The document describes an experiment to identify the anion in a given salt. Preliminary observations found the salt to be an amorphous white solid that is odorless and soluble in water. Tests using dilute sulfuric acid and magnesium sulfate solution produced effervescence and a white precipitate, indicating the presence of carbonate. Further confirmation with barium chloride also produced a white precipitate, confirming the anion as carbonate.

    Experiment
    Preliminary test
    1.
    ACTION OF
    DIL.SULPHURIC ACID:
    To a little of the substance
    taken in a test tube a few
    drops of dil. Sulphuric acid
    is added .
    Confirmatory test
    1.
    To the salt solution
    magnesium sulphate
    solution is added
    2.
    To the salt solution
    BaCl2 is added.

    Observation

    Inference

    Brisk
    effervescence
    of colourless
    gas which
    turns lime
    water milky

    carbonate
    CO32- may be
    present.

    White ppt is
    obtained.

    carbonate
    CO32confirmed
    carbonate
    CO32confirmed

    White ppt
    soluble in dil
    HCl & dil HNO3

    Result : The anion present in the given salt is carbonate CO 32- .
