(CH3COO)2Pb
AIM :- To analyse given salt for one cation and one anion.
Experiment Observation Inference
Physical examination-
Note the colour of the given salt. White Fe2+, Cu2+, Ni2+,Co3+ are
absent
Note the smell of given salt
Vinegar like smell CH3COO- may be present
Test for anion:
To a pinch of salt add dil H2SO4 No gas evolved. CO32- , SO32- ,S2-, NO2- ions
are absent.
Conc. H2SO4 Test:
Heat a pinch of salt with conc.H2SO4. Gas with vinegar like CH3COO- present.
smell evolved.
Confirmatory test for CH3COO- ion
Neutral FeCl3 test:
To aqueous solution of salt add
Red ppt.
neutral FeCl3 solution.
Red colour disappears. CH3COO-confirmed..
Filter the ppt. and add dil HCl to the
filtrate.
