AIM: – To identify the given inorganic compound for its acidic and basic radical.

APPARATUS:- Chemical Reagent, Test Tube, Test Tube holder, Spatula

PROCEDURE:-

Preliminary Test:-

Experiment Observation Inference
Smelled the salt. No Ammonical smell. Ammonium absent.
Added dilute hydrochloric acid to the original solution. White coloured precipitate is formed. Lead(II), Ag(I) may be present.
Added precipitate in hot water. No effect. Ag(I) may be present.

Confirmatory Test:-

Experiment Observation Inference
Added potassium chromate to the original solution. Brick red coloured precipitate formed. Ag(I) confirmed.

Chemical Equations:-

Ionic equation:-

Ag+ + HCl(aq)  –> AgCl(s)(white) + H+

2AgCl(s)(white) + K2CrO–> Ag2CrO4(s)(yellow) + 2KCl(aq)
