    The document analyzes an unknown salt through a series of tests to identify its anion and cation. It is determined to be lead nitrate based on tests showing the salt decrepitates when heated, evolves reddish brown gas when reacted with concentrated sulfuric acid, and forms a yellow precipitate when reacted with potassium chromate, identifying the cation as lead and the anion as nitrate.

    ANALYSIS OF SALT 6 ( Lead Nitrate)

    Aim : - TO ANALYSE THE GIVEN SALT FOR ACID RADICAL


    (ANION) AND BASIC RADICAL (CATION)
    Materials required: Test tubes, test tube stand, test tube holder, filter
    paper, watch glass, glass rod, burner, tripod stand, wire gauze,
    beakers, nickel spatula, reagents .
    A) PRELIMINARY TESTS
    1. Colour of the salt noted White absence of Cu 2+, Fe 2+, Fe 3+,
    Ni 2+, Co2+, Mn2+ ions
    2. DRY HEATING TEST The salt decrepitates Presence of nitrate salts
    A small amount of the salt is (cracking)
    heated in a dry test tube. Reddish brown gas
    evolves

    3. FLAME TEST no characteristic Absence of Barium salt


    A little of the salt is made coloured flame
    into a paste with Conc.HCl in
    a watch glass and shown to
    the non luminous part of
    Bunsen the flame using a
    glass rod.
    4. COBALT NITRATE no characteristic Absence of zinc, magnesium,
    TEST/ASH TEST coloured ash aluminium ions
    To a little of the salt solution
    a few drops of conc. HNO3
    and cobalt nitrate solution
    dip a filter paper into the
    solution and burnt into ashes
    B) IDENTIFICATION TEST FOR ANIONS
    1. DILUTE SULPHURIC ACID no characteristic absence of carbonate
    TEST reaction
    A little of the salt is treated with 1
    ml of dil. H2SO4
    2. CONC. SULPHURIC ACID Reddish brown gas Presence of Nitrate
    TEST is evolved
    a little of the salt is added with
    drops of conc. H2SO4
    3. Action of Conc. H2SO4and Reddish brown gas presence of Nitrate
    Copper turnings: is evolved
    To a little amount of the salt, add
    few copper turnings and add 1mL
    of Conc. H2SO4and heat gently.
    Confirmatory tests for Anions
    Preparation of Original Solution: Little amount of the salt is dissolved in 5mL of distilled water.

    1. Test for Nitrate: A brown ring is Presence of Nitrate is


    Brown ring test: formed at the junction confirmed
    To a little of original solution, of two liquids
    add dil. H2SO4 and then
    freshly prepared FeSO4 and
    add Conc. H2SO4 along the
    side of the test tube
    C) GROUP ANALYSIS

    Preparation of original solution:


    A little of the salt is mixed well with water to get original solution in a test tube
    Sl.No EXPERIEMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE
    1. salt + NaOH + heat No characteristic Absence of group 0 cation
    reaction ammonium(NH4+)

    2. OS + dil.HCl White precipitate is presence of group I cation


    formed (Pb2+)
    Pb2+ + 2HCl → PbCl2 + 2H+
    The white ppt is lead chloride
    which is soluble in hot water
    but insoluble in cold water
    3. OS + dil. HCl + H2S gas No characteristic Absence of group II cations
    reaction (Cu2+)
    4. OS+NH4Cl + NH4OH No characteristic Absence of group III cation
    reaction (Al 3+, Fe 3+)
    5. OS+NH4Cl + NH4OH +H2S No characteristic Absence of group IV cations
    reaction (Zn2+, Ni2+, Co2+ and Mn2+)
    6. OS+NH4Cl+ NH4OH No characteristic absence of group V cation
    +(NH4)2CO3 reaction (Ba2+)

    7. OS+NH4Cl + NH4OH + No characteristic Absence of group VI cations


    Na2HPO4 reaction Mg2+

    D) CONFIRMATORY TEST FOR CATIONS


    Test for lead: Yellow precipitate is obtained Lead cation is confirmed
    To a little of original solution, K2CrO4 + Pb2+ →
    potassium chromate is added PbCrO4(yellow ppt) + 2K+

    RESULT:
    The given simple salt contains
    1.Anion: Nitrate
    2.Cation: Lead
