    The document describes an experiment to analyze an unknown salt and identify its anion and cation. A series of tests were performed on the salt: 1. Tests with dilute sulfuric acid ruled out certain anions like carbonate, sulfite, and nitrite. 2. Heating the salt with concentrated sulfuric acid produced hydrogen chloride gas, indicating the presence of chloride ions. 3. Confirmation tests with silver nitrate and lead nitrate produced precipitates that confirmed chloride ions. 4. Cation tests such as flame test produced a brick red color, indicating calcium ions. Further tests ruled out other cations and confirmed the presence of calcium. The salt was identified as

    Experiment No.

    Salt analysis – 2

    Aim: Analysis to find the anion and cation in the given salt by systematic procedure and identify the salt.

    Experiment Observation Inference


    1. To little of the given salt No characteristic reaction Absence of CO32- , S2-, SO32-, NO2-
    (solid – dry salt) add dil. H2SO4 etc.
    (In a test tube)

    2. Rub a little of solid salt in a No characteristic reaction Absence of CH3COO- ion


    watch glass with a little of dilute
    sulfuric acid.

    3. To little of the given solid salt A colorless pungent smelling gas Cl- may present in the given
    add conc. H2SO4 and warm the which produces a dense white salt.
    mixture/heat gently fume with a glass rod dipped in
    ammonia solution
    Cl- + H2SO4 →HSO4-+HCl(g)

    HCl + NH3 → NH4Cl

    Confirmatory test for chloride


    ions
    1. To a little of salt solution add A white ppt formed which Cl- ion is confirmed
    dilute nitric acid and silver dissolves in excess of
    nitrate solution ammonium hydroxide solution.
    Cl- + AgNO3 → AgCl (s)+ NO3-

    AgCl(s) + NH4OH → [Ag(NH3)2]Cl


    (aq) + 2H2O ( The complex
    formed is soluble in water.

    2. To a little of salt solution add White ppt which dissolves in Cl- ion is confirmed
    dilute nitric acid and lead boiled water
    nitrate solution. Cl- + Pb(NO3)2 → PbCl2 (s)+ NO3-

    Result (Anion)

    Anion in the given salt is chloride ion (Cl-)


    Test for cation

    Experiment Observation Inference


    Preliminary tests for cations
    Color of the salt is noted White solid Absence of Cu+, Fe2+,Fe3+, Ni 2+,
    Co2+, Mn2+

    Odour of the salt is noted No characteristic smell NH4+ may be absent


    Flame Test: Make a paste of the
    mixture with conc. HCl in a Brick red flame color is Ca2+ ions may present
    watch glass and introduce into a observed
    non-luminous flame
    Group Analysis

    Group 0 - To the little of the salt


    solution add sodium carbonate A ppt formed Group 0 is absent (NH4+)
    solution

    Group I – To little of the salt No white ppt is formed Group I cation is absent (Pb2+)
    soln. add dil. HCl

    Group 2 – To little of the salt No ppt observed Group II cation is absent (Cu2+
    soln. add dil HCl and H2S gas and As3+)

    Group – To little of the salt No ppt observed Group III cation is absent (Al3+)
    soln. add solid NH4Cl and
    excess ammonium hydroxide
    solution

    Group 2 – To little of the salt No ppt observed Group IV cation is absent (Zn2+,
    soln. add solid NH4Cl and Fe3+)
    excess NH4OH solution and
    pass H2S gas into it

    Group 2 – To little of the salt A white ppt is observed Group IV cations may be
    soln. add solid NH4Cl and present (Ca2+ , Ba2+, Sr2+)
    excess NH4OH and ammonium
    carbonate solution

    Confirmatory tests for Group V


    cations – Follow BSC rule

    To little of the salt add No characteristic ppt Ba2+ absent


    potassium chromate solution
    To little of the salt solution add No characteristic ppt Sr2+ absent
    ammonium sulphate solution

    To little of the salt solution add White ppt formed Ca2+ confirmed
    ammonium oxalate solution

    Result (Cation): The cation in the given salt is Ca2+

    Final Result

    The given salt is Calcium chloride (CaCl2)
