    Experiment - 5

    Aim :- To identify acidic and basic radical in the given salt.


    S.No Experiment Observation Inference
    1. Preliminary Test
    Physical Examination:
    i) Physical State Crystalline Solid
    ii) Colour White/Deliquescence Cu2+, Fe2+,Fe3+, Ni2+,
    Co2+ absent
    iii) Odour :- Mix a little amount of salt Vinegar like/ 𝐶𝐻3 𝐶𝑂𝑂−
    with drop of water and rub between Ammoniacal N𝐻4+
    finger.
    iv) Solubility Soluble Water soluble ions
    are present
    v) Density Light
    2. Flame Test:- A small amount of salt Colour flame is not Ca2+,Sr2+,Cu2+, Zn2+
    is made into paste with conc.HCl in observed absent
    a watch glass introduce in the flame

    3. Action of Heat:- A small quantity of Characteristics smell May be actetate


    salt is taken in a dry test tube and of vinegar 𝐶𝐻3 𝐶𝑂𝑂−
    strongly heated ion present
    Identification of Acidic Radical
    1. Dilute H2SO4 Test :- No gas evolved 𝐶𝑂32− , 𝑆𝑂32− , 𝑆 2− is
    Salt + dil. H2SO4 absent
    2. Concentrated H2SO4 Colourless vapours 𝐶𝐻3 𝐶𝑂𝑂− may be
    Salt + Conc. H2SO4+ Heat having smell of present
    vinegar
    Confirmatory Test
    3. Ferric Chloride Test (FeCl3) :- Red colouration 𝐶𝐻3 𝐶𝑂𝑂− confirmed
    Aqueous solution of salt + few drops
    of neutral FeCl3 solution. Filter if
    necessary. Divide the solution in two
    parts.

    i. To one part add dil. HCl Red Colouration 𝐶𝐻3 𝐶𝑂𝑂− confirmed
    disappeared
    ii. To second part add water and boil Reddish brown ppt 𝐶𝐻3 𝐶𝑂𝑂− confirmed
    Write the Chemical Reaction with Pencil
    Reaction
    FeCl3 test: - FeCl3 + 3CH3COONa → (CH3COO)3Fe + 3NaCl
    Deep red Colouration
    Fe (CH3COO)3 + 2H2O → CH3COO( OH)2Fe↓ + 2CH3COOH
    Basic Ferric acetate
    Reddish brown ppt.
    4. Ester Test :- Salt + add few drops of Pleasant fruity smell 𝐶𝐻3 𝐶𝑂𝑂− confirmed
    conc. H2SO4 + few drops of ethyl
    alcohol
    Write the Chemical Reaction with Pencil
    Reaction
    Ester Test:- 2CH3COONa + H2SO4 → 2CH3COOH + Na2SO4
    CH3COOH + C2H5OH → CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
    Acetic acid Ethyl alcohol Ethyl acetate
    (Fruity smell)
    5. Oxalic Test:- Make a paste of solid Smell of vinegar 𝐶𝐻3 𝐶𝑂𝑂− confirmed
    salt with oxalic acid solution.
    Write the Chemical Reaction with Pencil
    Reaction
    Oxalic Test :- COOH COONa
    2CH3COONa + → + 2CH3COOH ↑
    COOH COONa Acetic acid Vapours
    (Vinegar like Smell)

    Identification of Basic Radical


    1. To a little salt add NaOH solution Colourless gas having 𝑁𝐻4+ may be present
    and heat ammoniacal smell.
    Confirmatory Test
    2. Above solution + Glass dipped in Dense white fumes 𝑁𝐻4+ confirmed
    conc. HCl is brought near mouth of are formed
    the test tube
    Write the Chemical Reaction with Pencil
    Reaction
    NaOH Test : - NH4Cl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O + NH3↑
    3. Nessler’s reagent Test (K2HgI4] :- Brown/ Orange ppt 𝑁𝐻4+ confirmed
    Aqueous solution + NaOH +
    Nessler’s reagent
    Reaction [ Write with pencil]
    Nessler’s reagent Test :- NH4Cl + KOH → KCl + H2O + NH3
    2K2HgI4 + 3KOH + NH3 → NH2HgO.HgI + 7KI + 2H2O
    Nessler’s reagent Iodide of Million’s base
    (Brown ppt)

    Result :- The given salt contain:


    Acid radical – C𝐻3 𝐶𝑂𝑂−
    Basic radical − 𝑁𝐻4+
