    Salt Analysis - Cation Lead

    Uploaded by

    Siddhesh Borkar
    The document describes an experiment to identify the cation in a given salt. The salt was a white, crystalline solid that was soluble in water with a pungent odor. When solutions of sodium hydroxide and ammonium were added, no characteristic reaction occurred, indicating the absence of ammonium ions. A white precipitate formed when hydrochloric acid was added, identifying the cation as lead. Further tests with potassium chromate and potassium iodide solutions forming yellow precipitates confirmed the presence of lead ions. The cation in the salt was determined to be lead.
