    aluminium chloride may
    be absent

    3 Decrepitation No Crackling sound Lead nitrate, barium


    observed nitrate absent

    4 Colour of the residue White Ba2+, Sr2+ , Ca2+ , Al3+ ,


    Mg2+may be present

    WET TEST

    1 Rubbed a little amount of the characteristic odour Acetate (CH3COO-),


    salt between moist fingers observed Ammonium (NH4 +) may
    be present.

    TEST FOR ACIDIC RADICAL

    DIL. H2SO4 TEST

    Treated a pinch of the salt with observed
    dil. H2SO4
    CONC. H2SO4 TEST

    2 TEST FOR CHLORIDE No pungent smelling gas Chloride (Cl-) absent


    Treated a pinch of the salt with evolved.
    conc. H2SO4

    3 TEST FOR BROMIDE No red brown gas evolved. Bromide (Br-) absent
    Treated a pinch of the salt with
    conc. H2SO4

    4 TEST FOR NITRATE


    Treated a pinch of the salt with No Reddish-brown fumes are Nitrate (NO3 -) absent
    conc. H2SO4, added paper ball evolved
    after heating the content of the
    test tube

    5 TEST FOR ACETATE

    FERRIC CHLORIDE TEST

    To the aqueous solution of salt A red coloured solution Acetate (CH3COO-)


    added FeCl3 solution. obtained. indicated.

    Divided the above solution in


    two parts:

    Added water to Part I and Red- brown ppt obtained Acetate confirmed
    boiled the solution

    Added HCl to Part II Colour of the solution Acetate confirmed


    changed to yellow

    ESTER TEST
    In a test tube, added conc. A pleasant fruity smell is Acetate confirmed
    sulphuric acid to a pinch of the obtained
    salt. Heated the solution.
    Added few drops of ethyl
    alcohol to and poured the
    content of test tube into a
    beaker containing water.

    TEST FOR INDEPENDENT RADICALS


    6 TEST FOR SULPHATE
    To the aqueous solution of the No white ppt insoluble in Sulphate (SO42-) absent
    salt added barium chloride HCl obtained
    solution

    7 TEST FOR PHOSPHATE


    Added conc. HNO3 to the salt Canary yellow ppt. not Phosphate (PO43-) absent
    and boiled it. Added obtained.
    ammonium molybdate in
    excess.

    TEST FOR BASIC RADICAL

    S.N. EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE

    TEST FOR GROUP ZERO

    1 Heated salt with NaOH. Brought a rod No characteristic NH4+ absent


    dipped in HCl near the mouth of the test ammoniacal smell. No
    tube. dense fumes of NH4Cl
    obtained.

    TEST FOR GROUP I

    To the original solution added dil. HCl No white ppt Pb2+ absent
    2

    TEST FOR GROUP II

    3 To the above solution added, Na2S No black or yellow Pb2+, Cu2+, As3+ absent
    pallets ppt.

    TEST FOR GROUP III

    4 To the O.S. added 3-4 drops of conc. No white floating ppt. Al3+, Fe3+ absent
    HNO3, boiled. Added 2g of NH4Cl and or reddish brown ppt
    boiled again. Cooled the tube under tap
    water and then added excess of NH4OH.

    Since there was no ppt in group III, divided the above solution in three parts.

    TEST FOR GROUP IV

    5 To part I, added Na2S pallets A dull white ppt Zn2+ indicated


    obtained
    CONFIRMATORY TEST FOR
    ZINC
    Dissolved the dull white ppt in HCl and
    boiled off H2S. Divided the solution in
    two parts

    NaOH TEST
    Added NaOH to Part I A white ppt formed Zn2+ confirmed
    which got dissolved in
    excess of NaOH

    POTASSIUM FERROCYANIDE
    TEST
    Added Potassium ferrocyanide to Part II A white-bluish ppt Zn2+ confirmed
    obtained

    RESULT
    ACIDIC RADICAL: CH3COO -
    BASIC RADICAL: Zn2+
    SALT: (CH3COO)2Zn

    CHEMICAL EQUATIONS FOR ACETATE (TO BE WRITTEN ON LHS)

    INDICATORY TEST:

    CH3COO- + H2SO4 → HSO4- + CH3COOH

    FERRIC CHLORIDE TEST

    3CH3COO- + FeCl3 → (CH3COO)3Fe + 3NaCl


    (CH3COO)3Fe + 2H2O → (CH3COO) (OH)2 Fe ↓(brown ppt) + 2CH3COOH

    ESTER TEST

    2CH3COO- + H2SO4 → SO4 2- + 2CH3COOH

    CH3COOH + C2H5OH → CH3COOC2 H5 [ethyl acetate (fruity smell)] + H2O


    CHEMICAL EQUATION FOR ZINC (TO BE WRITTEN ON LHS)

    INDICATORY TEST:

    Zn (OH)2 + H2S → ZnS ↓ + H2O


    ZnS + HCl → ZnCl2 + H2S↑

    NaOH TEST

    ZnCl2 + 2NaOH → Zn (OH)2 ↓ + 2NaCl


    Zn (OH)2 + 2NaOH → Na2ZnO2 + 2 H2O

    POTASSIUM FERROCYANIDE TEST

    2ZnCl2 + K4 [Fe (CN)6] → Zn2 [Fe (CN)6] ↓ + 4KCl
