Salt 4 Ammonium Sulphate

The document analyzes an unknown salt through a series of tests to identify its constituent ions. Preliminary tests show it is white and does not contain certain metal ions. Sulfate ions are identified through a barium chloride test. Group analysis reveals the presence of ammonium ions through a Nessler's reagent test. The salt is concluded to contain ammonium and sulfate ions.

ANALYSIS OF SALT 4 ( Ammonium sulphate)

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 Absence of Ammonium salt
A small amount of the salt is
heated in a dry test tube.
3. FLAME TEST No characteristic Absence of Barium salt
A little of the salt is made 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 no characteristic Absence of nitrate, chloride
TEST reaction and acetate
a little of the salt is added with
drops of conc. H2SO4
3. TEST FOR SULPHATE:- White precipitate Presence of sulphate
BaCl2 test:- insoluble in conc. SO42- + BaCl2 → BaSO4
A little of the salt solution is added HCl (white ppt)+ 2Cl-
with few drops of BaCl2 solution BaSO4 (white ppt) + conc.
and conc. HCl is added to it HCl→no reaction
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 Pungent Ammonia Presence of group 0 cation
smelling gas gives ammonium NH4+
white fumes when On heating with NaOH
glass rod dipped in ammonia gas is evolved
conc.HCl is shown NH4+ + NaOH → Na+ +
H2O + NH3(g)↑
HCl + NH3(g) → NH4Cl
(white fumes) + H2O
2. OS + dil.HCl No characteristic Absence of group I cations
reaction (Pb2+)
3. OS + dil. HCl + H2S gas No characteristic Absence of group II
reaction cations (Cu2+)
4. OS+NH4Cl + NH4OH No characteristic Absence of group III
reaction cation (Al 3+, Fe 3+)
5. OS+NH4Cl + NH4OH +H2S No characteristic Absence of group IV
reaction cations (Zn2+, Ni2+, Co2+
and Mn2+)
6. OS+NH4Cl+ NH4OH No characteristic Absence of group V
+(NH4)2CO3 reaction cations (Sr2+, Ba2+, Ca2+)
7. OS+NH4Cl + NH4OH + No characteristic Absence of group VI
Na2HPO4 reaction cations Mg2+

D) CONFIRMATORY TEST FOR CATIONS


Test for Ammonium: Reddish brown precipitate is Ammonium is confirmed
To a little of the original obtained
solution, Nessler’s reagent
and sodium hydroxide are
added

RESULT:
The given simple salt contains
1.Anion: Sulphate
2.Cation: Ammonium
