    Unknown salt # 5

    1. Preliminary tests:

    Experiment Observation Inference


    1. Physical state Amorphous solid
    2. Colour Colourless
    3. Solubility Insoluble in cold water but soluble in May be a carbonate salt
    dilute HCl
    4. Flame test No characteristic flame observed Absence of Ca+2, Sr+2 and Ba+2
    5. Ash test No characteristic colour ash formed Absence of Zn2+, Zn2+ and Al3+

    2. Analysis of anion:

    Experiment Observation Inference


    1. To a small of the salt Brisk effervescence is observed due May be CO32-
    taken in a test tube to the evolution of CO2 gas which
    dilute HCl is added turns lime water milky.
    2. To a small quantity of Colour gas is evolved which gives .May be Cl-
    the salt add con. H2SO4 dense white fumes with a glass
    dipped in NH4OH
    3. C. T. for Cl- Q white precipitate is formed which Cl- is confirmed
    To 1 ml salt solution add is soluble in excess of NH4OH
    dilute HNO3 and then
    add 1 ml of AgNO3

    3. Analysis of cation :

    Experiment Observation Inference


    1. Salt _ NaOH + heat Pungent smelling gas is evolved May be NH4+
    which gives dense white fumes with
    a glass rod in con. HCl
    2. C.T. for NH4+ Chocolate brown precipitate is NH4+ is confirmed
    To 1 ml salt solution add formed
    NaOH solution and then add
    few drops of Nesseler’s
    reagent.

    4. Result: The given salt contains

    Cation: NH4+ Anion: Cl- Salt is NH4Cl
