radicals, that is, cations and anions that it contains. The common
procedure of testing on unknown salt is to make its solution and then test
this solution for the ions present in it. Then Preliminary tests such as
color, odour, dry heating, flame test etc. are performed. These tests are
common for all samples under salt analysis. Further, there are separate
After the preliminary tests are over with, to identify the anion,
three indicatory tests are carried out. They can be divided in to three
