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. |
No Effect. |
Lead(II)may be present. |
| Added hydrogen disulphide, hydrochloric acid to the original solution. |
No Effect. |
Pb(II), Cu(II) , As(III) absent. |
| Added dilute hydrochloric acid, concentrated nitric acid, and boiled solution. Then cooled it and added solid ammonium hydroxide. |
No Effect. |
Al(III) ,Fe(III) absent. |
| Passed Hydrogen disulphide gas through the above formed solution. |
No Effect. |
Zn (II) ,Mn(II), Ni(II), Co(II) absent. |
| Added ammonium carbonate to above solution. |
White precipitate is formed. |
Ba(II), Sr(II), Ca(II) may be present. |
Confirmatory Test:-
| Experiment |
Observation |
Inference |
| Dissolved precipitate in acetic acid and boiled it. Added few drops of ammonium oxalate to above solution and then added ammonium hydroxide. |
White precipitate is formed. |
Ca(II) Confirmed. |
Chemical Equations:-
Ionic equation:-
Ca2+ + (NH4)2CO3 (aq) –> CaCO3(s)(white) + 2NH4+(aq)
CaCO3(s) + 2CH3COOH (aq) –> (CH3COO)2Ca + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
Ca2+(aq) + (NH4)2C2O4(aq) –> CaC2O4(s)(white) + 2NH4+(aq)
