Systematic Qualitative Analysis of Simple Salt - 01

Aim: To identify the anion and cation present in the given simple salt

Procedure

Preliminary Tests

S.NO EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE

1. Colour: May be due to


White colour absence of Cu2+ Fe2+
The colour of the salt is noted. Ni2+ Co2+
2. Smell :- No characteristic smell Absence of NH4+ ion
Take a pinch of salt between or CH3COO- ion
your fingers and rub it with
drop of water.
3. Action of Heat :- Brown colour gas evolves May be NO3- ion
Take a small amount of salt in
dry test tube and strongly heat.
4. Flame Test :- Absence of Ba+2,
Take a small amount of salt in No characteristic flame is Ca+2, Cu+2, Sr2+, ions
a watch glass add conc. HCl to observed
make a paste that is exposed
through a glass rod in a non
luminous flame

5. ASH Test :- No characteristic colored ash Absence of Al 3+ ion,


Take a salt in test tube add one Zn2+ ion and Mg 2+ion
or two drops of HNO3 and then
cobalt nitrate solution. Filter
paper dipped in it and burnt.

6. Action of NaOH: No ammoniacal smelling gas Absence of NH4+


Take a salt in a test tube add Salt
NaOH solution and Heat.

Identification of Acid Radical

7. Action of Dilute H2SO4 :- No characteristic gas evolved Absence of CO3-2,


Take a little amount of salt CH3COO- ions
in a test tube add dilute.
H2SO4.
8. Action of Conc.
H2SO4 :- Reddish brown gas is evolved. NO3 - may be present
Take a little amount of salt
in a test tube add conc.
H2SO4
i) Manganese-di-oxide No Greenish yellow vapours or Absence of Cl – ion
Test :- Intense brown fumes are evolved and Br - ion
Mix a pinch of salt with a
pinch of MnO2 and add 3 –
4 drops of conc. H2SO4 and
heat the mixture.
ii) Action of conc. H2SO4 Reddish brown vapours are Presence of Nitrate
and copper tunings :- evolved (NO3-) ion
Take a little amount of
salt add copper tunings,
conc.H2SO4 and heat
strongly.
9. Action of BaCl2 test:- White precipitate. is not formed Absence of SO4-2
Add BaCl2 solution to salt ions
solution

10. Ammonium molybdate test .


:- Canary yellow precipitate is not Absence of PO4-3 ion
To the salt solution add formed
conc.HNO3 and ammonium
molybdate

Confirmation tests for the Acid Radical


Preparation of Water extract:

Water extract is prepared by dissolving 1-2gm of given salt in 10-15ml distilled water in a
boiling test tube; this solution is called water extract (W.E).
”.

Confirmation test for Nitrate ion (NO3-)

S.No EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE


1. Action of conc. H2SO4 & copper Reddish brown vapours Presence of Nitrate
tunings :- are evolved (NO3-) ion
Take a little amount
of extract add copper tunings,
conc.H2SO4 and heat strongly.
2. Brown ring test :- Brown ring is formed at NO3 - ion is confirmed.
To the extract add freshly the junction of two layers.
prepared Ferrous sulphate
solution. Then add conc.H2SO4
along the sides of the test tube
dropwise.
Identification of Group cation (Basic Radical)

Preparation of Original Solution

Take a little salt in a clean boiling tube and add a few ml of water and shake it. If it is not
dissolved, heat the boiling tube till the salt is dissolved and is taken as Original solution (O.S)
Group separation

S.NO EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE

Add dilute HCl to White precipitate is formed. May be presence of I


1. original solution Group ion (Pb+2)

Confirmation tests for the Basic Radical


Confirmation tests for Pb+2 (I group)
S.No EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE
+2
1. Add K2CrO4 solution to the Yellow precipitate. is formed. Pb ion is confirmed
Original Solution.
2. Add KI solution to Yellow precipitate is formed, Pb+2 ion is confirmed
the Original Solution when it is mixed with hot water
and then cool under tap water
golden yellow spangles are
formed.

Result: The given simple salt contains

(i) Anion : Nitrate (NO3-)

(ii) Cation : Lead (Pb2+)

(iii) Salt : Lead Nitrate (Pb(NO3)2
