    1. A series of tests were performed on a simple salt to determine its composition. Flame and chloride tests indicated the presence of strontium. 2. Further analysis found the salt contained chloride as the acid radical based on silver nitrate and chromyl chloride tests. 3. The salt was identified as strontium chloride based on formation of a white precipitate with ammonium sulfate, confirming the basic strontium radical.
