Expt. No- Date-
Identification of cation & anion of the given
unknown salt Aim of Experiment- To identify the cation and anion present in a given salt.
Salt number:
Colour: White
Structure: Crystalline
Solubility: Cold water
Dry test for basic radicals
Test tube heating:
Experiment Observation Inference
+ A pinch of salt was taken in a A white sublimate was NH4 may be present. clean and dry test tube and it formed at the cooler part of was heated strongly. the test tube.
Soda lime Test:
Experiment Observation Inference
+ A pinch of salt was taken in a A strong smell of ammonia NH4 may be present. dry test tube soda lime was was observed. added to it. Dry test for acid radicals I. Dilute H2SO4 test
Experiment Observation Inference
A pinch of salt was taken in a No effervescence took place. CO32-, SO32-, S2-, NO2- were clean & dry test tube. Then absent. 2ml of dil. H2SO4 was added to it.
II. Conc. H2SO4 test

Experiment Observation Inference
The given salt was taken in a Effervescence took place Cl- may be present. clean & dry test tube. Then with the evolution of a gas 1ml of Conc. H2SO4 was having pungent smell. White added to it. fumes were produced when a glass rod dipped in NH4OH was shown to the evolved gas.
III. MnO2 test
Experiment Observation Inference
- A pinch of MnO2 was added Greenish-yellow gas was Cl may be present. to the above test tube & evolved. heated
Wet test for acid radicals
Chromyl chloride test
Experiment Observation Inference
- The given salt solution was Yellowish orange cl may be mixed with three times its vapors evolved. confirmed. weight of K2Cr2O7 and 1ml Yellow ppt. was Conc. H2SO4 was added to it obtained. and heated. The evolved gas was passed through NaOH solution followed by acidification with acetic acid and about 2ml of lead acetate solution was added. Silver Nitrate test
Experiment Observation Inference
- 2ml of salt solution was A white ppt. was formed cl is confirmed. acidified with dil.HNO3 and 1 which was soluble in dil. ml of AgNO3 solution were HH4OH solution. added to it.

(Chromyl chloride)
Wet test for basic radicals
Experiment Observation Inference
1. NaOH solution was A smell of ammonia comes NH4+ is confirmed. added to the salt and out and white fumes of it was warmed. A NH4Cl are formed. glass rod was dipped in the HCl and was shown to the mouth of the test tube. 2. NaOH was added to A reddish brown ppt. was NH4+ is confirmed. the solution & then formed. Nessler’s reagent was added.
