The document provides instructions for identifying the cation and anion of a salt using common acids and a test tube. To identify the anion, add the salt to concentrated hydrochloric acid in a test tube and observe any gas bubbles, color changes, or precipitates to determine which acid the anion is. To identify the cation, add concentrated sulfuric acid to the remaining solution and observe similar results to identify the metal cation.
