SALT ANALYSIS SCHEME OF ANALYSIS EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONS : 1) Noted the colour Colourless ‘Absence of Cu, Fe Fe" Mn*,Co”*, Ni? Blue Pre. of Cum Brown, Pre. of Fe Green Pre. of N= Pale pink Pre. of Mn™ Pink Pre. of Co™ 2) Noted the solubility a) Inwater a) Soluble and no a) Pre.of NH.’ b) IndiLHCl ppt with Na,CO; b) Insoluble b) Pre.of Pb? 3) Flame Test: a) Blue surrounded | a) Pre. of Cu™ Alittle of the salt is made into bygreen paste with conc.HCl. Aglassrod| b) Brick red b) Pre.of Ca is dipped in it and introduced into the flame. c) Crimson red d) Bluish white e) Grassy green on prolonged heating ¢) Pre. of Sr d) Pre.of Pb? e) Pre.of Ba 4) Ash Test: Alittle of the salt is heated with con.HNO; and cobalt nitrate solution. A filter paper is dipped in it and burnt. a) Green ash b) Blue tinted ash c) Pale pink ash a) Pre.of Zn” b) Pre. of AP* cc) Pre. of Mg? SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS OF ANIONS : 1) DiLH,SOs test : To the salt add dil. H»S0«, warm if required. a) Evolution of Colourless, odourless gas with brisk effervescence, turns limewater milky. bb) Smell of vinegar a) Pre. of carbonates b) Pre.of acetate2) Conc.HaSO,test : Treat a small quantity of the salt with Conc.H»SO,, warm if necessary. a) Colourless gas with pungent smell, give dense white fumes whena glass rod dipped in NH«QH is shown. b) Brown gas with pungent smell ©) Violet vapours with pungent smell d) Light brown gas with pungent smell on strong heating. e) Smell of vinegar a) Pre. of CI b) Proof Br? ) Pre.of I d) Pre. of NOs* e) Pre. of CH3COO™ 3) Paper ball test: Heat a little of the salt with Conc.H2SO,and introduce a paper ballto it. Brown fumes Pre.of NO,* 4) Test for sulphates : White ppt insoluble in Pre. of sulphate Heat a litle of the salt solution | Conc. HCl with dilHCland add BaCl, solution. 5) Test for phosphates: Yellow ppt Pre. of phosphate ‘Add Conc.HNOs to the salt solution and boll. Add exess of ammonium molybdate solution and boilagain. CONFIRMATORY TEST FOR ANIONS : 1) Carbonates: Magnesium sulphate test To the salt solution add MgSO« solution. White ppt Pre. of carbonates confirmed 2) Chlorides : a) MnOztest : Heat small quantity of salt with Conc.H2SO,and MnO2 a) Greenish yellow ‘gas with pungent smell Pre. of chloride confirmed
