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 potassium chromate to above solution. | Yellow precipitate is formed. | Ba (II) Confirmed. |
Chemical Equations:-
Ionic equation:-
Ba2+ + (NH4)2CO3 (aq) –> BaCO3(s)(white) + 2NH4+(aq)
BaCO3(s) + 2CH3COOH (aq) –> (CH3COO)2Ba + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
Ba2+(aq) + K2CrO4(aq) –> BaCrO4(s)(yellow) + 2K+
