    The document describes the procedures and results of a qualitative analysis of cations lab. The unknown solution was found to contain Al3+, Fe3+, and Pb2+ ions based on the formation of various precipitates and color changes during the lab procedures. The unknown solution did not contain Ag+, Hg22+, or Ni+ ions as evidenced by a lack of precipitate or color formation during relevant steps. The document also includes chemical equations to explain the observed reactions during the cation analysis.

    Step

    Procedure Add HCl to known solution in TT1. Centrifuge. Pour colored solution into TT2. Add 2 ml of distilled water to the precipitate and place the test tube in a boiling water bath for three minutes. Stir. Centrifuge for a few seconds. Pour the supernatant liquid into another test tube. Immediately add two drops of K2CrO4 to the liquid. Add one ml of NH3 to the white precipitate from Step 2. Stir. Black residue. Centrifuge, then decant the solution into another test tube and discard the black residue. Add HNO3 to the solution from Step 3 until the solution is acid or a permanent white precipitate is formed. Neutralize the solution from procedure 1 (TT2) by adding NH3 solution until the solution is basic. Check with litmus paper after stirring thoroughly. Add one ml in excess. Add one ml of NH4Cl. Colored ppt. Centrifuge and separate the solution into another test tube. Set the solution aside for Procedure 10. Treat the precipitate by Procedure 6. Dissolve the precipitate from Procedure 5 by adding 6-M HC1 dropwise. Stir aer each addition. Make basic to litmus with 6-M NaOH. Stir. Then add 1-2 ml in excess. Precipitates. Centrifuge and separate the solution into another test tube. Set the solution aside for Procedure 8. Treat the precipitate by Procedure 7. Dissolve the precipitate from Procedure 6 by adding dilute 6-M HC1 dropwise. Stir. Add three drops
