    1. CoS and NiS dissolve slowly in HCl, producing a black precipitate that dissolves with HNO3, indicating the presence of nickel or cobalt or both. 2. Using too much Na2O2 should be avoided as it can disperse the hydroxides of iron, cobalt, and nickel, interfering with tests for aluminum and zinc. Sufficient Na2O2 is added to bubble for 1 minute to oxidize chromite to chromate, and oxidize ferrous, cobaltous, and manganous hydroxides. 3. The document provides procedures and notes for separating and identifying Group IIIA cations (aluminum, chromium, and zinc) from a solution

    5. CoS and NiS dissolve quite slowly in HCl.

    A black precipitate at this point, which dissolves only


    when HNO3 is added to the mixture, indicates the presence of nickel or cobalt or both.
    6. A large excess of Na2O2 is to be avoided. The hydroxides of iron, cobalt, and nickel may be
    dispersed to some extent in a strongly basic solution, causing interference with the test for
    aluminum and zinc ions. Sufficient Na2O2 should be added to produce a bubbling action for 1min.
    7. The Na2O2 is added for the purpose oxidizing the chromite ion to the chromate ion. At the same
    time, ferrous and cobaltous hydroxides are oxidized to ferric and cobaltic hydroxides. Manganous
    hydroxide is oxidized to hydrated manganese dioxide.

    ANALYSIS OF GROUP IIIA CATIONS

    Procedure 9. Separation and Identification of Group IIIA Cations. Centrifugate from Procedure 8
    contains aluminate, chromate, and zincate ions. Add 10 drops of saturated NH4Ac, then 3F HAc until
    acid. Now add 3F ammonia until solution is decidedly ammoniacal. (1) Centrifuge.

    Residue may be aluminum Centrifugate may contain CrO4- and Zn(NH3)4++. (3) Add 1F
    hydroxide. Wash with 10 drops of Ba(Ac)2 until precipitation is complete. Centrifuge.
    water and discard washings. Add 3F
    HCl, drop by drop, until residue
    dissolves. Add 3 drops of saturated Residue may be BaCrO4 and Centrifugate may contain
    NH4Ac and 3 drops of aluminon; BaSO4. (4) Add 10 drops of 3F Zn(NH3)4++ ion. Acidify
    then make decidedly ammoniacal HCl, and warm 1 min in water solution with 3F HAc, add 5
    with 3F NH3. Allow mixture to bath. Centrifuge and discard drops of thioacetamide
    stand 2 min, then centrifuge. white residue. Place 2 drops of solution and place in boiling
    Separation of a red precipitate centrifugate upon a piece of filter water bath for 5min.
    confirms presence of ALUMINUM paper. Add 2 drops of H2O2. Formation of a white
    ION. (2) Formation of a blue color which precipitate confirms presence
    fades rapidly confirms presence of ZINC ION. If precipitate is
    of CHROMIUM ION. (5) not white, consult note (6).

    NOTES ON THE ANALYSIS OF GROUP IIIA CATIONS

    1. The precipitation of aluminum hydroxide is practically complete in the buffered ammonia-


    ammonium acetate solution. In this solution, zinc is not precipitated as the hydroxide but is held
    in solution as the soluble complex ion, Zn(NH3)4++.
    2. “Aluminon” is the coined name for the ammonium salt of aurintricarboxylic acid. The organic
    dye forms a red-colored lake with aluminum hydroxide. This test is specific for aluminum under
    the conditions described.
    3. The solution must be yellow if chromium is present. The color can best be observed by looking
    down through the solution contained in a test tube.
    4. Any sulfide ions in the solution are converted to sulfate ions by the action of sodium peroxide.
    The sulfate ions are precipitated by barium ions as acid-insoluble BaSO4.
    5. The addition of hydrogen peroxide to an acid solution of a chromate produces a blue coloration
    due to the formation CrO5. This compound is unstable, decomposing rapidly with an evolution of
    oxygen, accompanied by a fading of the blue color.
