Qestion For 10 - 11 - 12

The document outlines a series of tests for identifying cations and anions in unknown salts X and Y through preliminary and confirmatory methods. It includes observations on appearance, solubility, reactions with acids and bases, and the formation of precipitates with various reagents. The tests aim to determine the specific cations and anions present in the salts.

Period 10

You are provided with an unknown salt, X. Perform both preliminary tests and confirmatory tests to
identify the cations and anions present in the salts. Record your test, observations and inferences. What
cation and/or anion is present

1. Observe and record the appearance, color, and crystallinity of salts X.

2. Test the solubility of both salts in 10 mL of distilled water.

3. Add a few drops of 2M HCl to salt X and observe for any effervescence.

4. Pass the evolved gas through limewater and note any changes.

5. Test the gas with moist universal litmus paper.

6. Dissolve a small portion of both salts in distilled water.

7. To a portion of the solution, add freshly prepared FeSO₄ solution followed by


concentrated H₂SO₄ slowly along the side of the test tube.

I. Observe for the formation of a brown ring at the interface.

8. To a portion of the solution, add AgNO₃ solution and observe for the formation of a
white precipitate.

I. Add dilute NH₄OH to test the solubility of the precipitate.

9. Add BaCl₂ solution to another portion of the salt solution and observe for a white
precipitate.

I. Add dilute HCl and check if the precipitate dissolves.

Period 11

You are provided with an unknown salt, X. Perform both preliminary tests and confirmatory tests to
identify the cations and anions present in the salts. Record your test, observations and inferences. What
cation is present?

Tests

1. Observe and record the appearance, color, and crystallinity of salts X.

2. Test the solubility of both salts in 10 mL of distilled water.

3. Dissolve a small portion of both salts in distilled water.

4. Add NaOH dropwise to each solution and observe for any precipitate formation.

5. Then add NaOH in excess and record any further changes.

6. To another portion of the salt solution, add NH₄OH dropwise and observe any
precipitate formation.
7. Add NH₄OH in excess and record any changes.

Period 12

You are provided with an unknown salt, Y. Perform both preliminary tests and confirmatory tests to
identify the cations and anions present in the salts. Record your test, observations and inferences. What
cation is present?

Tests

1. Observe and record the appearance, color, and crystallinity of salts Y.

2. Test the solubility of both salts in 10 mL of distilled water.

3. Add a few drops of 2M HCl to salt Y and observe for any effervescence.

4. Pass the evolved gas through limewater and note any changes.

5. Test the gas with moist universal litmus paper.

6. Dissolve a small portion of both salts in distilled water.

7. Add NaOH dropwise to each solution and observe for any precipitate formation.

8. Then add NaOH in excess and record any further changes.

9. To another portion of the salt solution, add NH₄OH dropwise and observe any
precipitate formation.

10. Add NH₄OH in excess and record any changes.

11. To a portion of the solution, add freshly prepared FeSO₄ solution followed by
concentrated H₂SO₄ slowly along the side of the test tube.

I. Observe for the formation of a brown ring at the interface.

12. To a portion of the solution, add AgNO₃ solution and observe for the formation of a
white precipitate.

I. Add dilute NH₄OH to test the solubility of the precipitate.

13. Add BaCl₂ solution to another portion of the salt solution and observe for a white
precipitate.

I. Add dilute HCl and check if the precipitate dissolves.
