In this part, lead ion is precipitaded from the unknown solution. Group I ions are called insoluable
chlorides, if HCl is added to a mixture of cations, only AgCl, Hg 2 Cl 2 and PbCl2 precipitate. They leaving
the other cations in the solution. If AgCl, Hg 2 Cl 2 and PbCl2 precipitate used to make a solution with
water and centrifuge. PbCl2 has higher Ksp value so PbCl2 is more soluble in the solution. AgCl and
Hg2 Cl 2 compounds precipitation. If centrifugate and residu are seperate and add K 2 CrO 4 into the
centrifugate, yellow precipitate can obtain becuse the cenrifuge solution contains only PbCl2.
Part 2:
Group II ions called acid-insoluable sulfides. This ions creates precipitation with H 2 S ,which is obtained
from hydrolization of thioacetamide. Group II sulfides have small Ksp vaule but group III sulfides have
higher Ksp value.

In this step blue color should be observed but during experiment clear solution with white precipitate is
observed. There must be a personal error; mixing wrong compounds or missing the step can be the
raesons.
Part 3:
Group III ions are called base-insoluable sulfides and hydroxides. Unknown solution is buffered with
ammonium salt and ammonia solution. Than thioacetamine used as a S source and ;

After that Na2 O2 added with the purpose of oxidizing Cr, Mn and Co; so they create a percipitate. With
thise step we have a pricipitate that contains Fe, Mn, Co and Ni. The precipitate dissolved in HCl and
dilute with water;

Then NaF and NH 3 are added into the solution. Dimethylglyoxime is added in the solution and we
obsereved red rpecipitate which confirms that the presence of nickel ion.
