    The document describes a procedure for separating and identifying Group IIIB cations (manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel) using precipitation reactions and color changes, involving adding reagents like sodium bismuthate, ammonium sulfide, ammonium cyanide, and dimethylglyoxime to portions of the sample to selectively precipitate or produce colored complexes to identify each cation. Sodium bismuthate is used to precipitate manganese as a reddish purple precipitate, and nickel forms a brick red precipitate when dimethylglyoxime is added, allowing identification of these cations.
