Salt Analysis1-1

This document provides the procedure and observations for qualitatively analyzing the acidic and basic radicals in an unknown inorganic salt. The salt is reacted with dilute sulfuric acid, producing carbon dioxide gas and confirming the presence of the carbonate ion. It is then treated with sodium hydroxide and indicators, producing the smells and colors characteristic of the ammonium ion. Based on these tests, the unknown salt is determined to be ammonium carbonate, with carbonate as the acidic radical and ammonium as the basic radical.

SALT ANALYSIS

(QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS)
EXPERIMENT NO. 7

AIM:
To analyse one acidic radical (anion) and one basic radical (cation) in a given inorganic salt.

MATERIAL REQUIRED:
Diluted H2SO4, lime water, NaOH, conc. HCl, Nessler’s Reagent, distilled water, test tubes, transferring tube, glass rod.

OBSERVATION TABLE:
a. Table for acidic radical:
S.NO EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE
1. To the pinch of given salt, add Colourless, odourless gas CO32- (carbonate ion)
dil.H2SO4. is evolved with brisk indicated.
effervescence.
2. Add more salt in the same test tube Lime water turns milky. CO32- (carbonate ion)
and pass the gas through freshly confirmed.
prepared lime water.

CHEMICAL REACTIONS:
1. CO32- + H2SO4 SO42- + CO2 + H2O
2. Ca(OH)2 + CO2 CaCO3 + H2O
(lime water)
b. Table for basic radical:
S.NO EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE
1. To the salt add NaOH solution and Smell of ammonia comes out Zero group indicated.
warm it bring a glass rod dipped in and dense white fumes of NH4+(ammonium ion)
conc. HCl near the mouth of the NH4Cl are formed. confirmed.
test tube.
2. To the salt solution add NaOH and Reddish brown precipitate is NH4+ confirmed.
then add Nessler’s reagent (K2HgI4). formed.
CHEMICAL EQUATIONS:
1. NH4+ + NaOH NH4OH + Na+
2. NH4OH NH3 +H2O
3. NH3+ HCl NH4Cl (white fumes)
4. K2HgI4 +NH3 +3 KOH H2N.HgO.HgI +2KI +2H2O
(reddish brown ppt.)
(iodide of million’s base)

RESULT: The given inorganic salt contains:


a. Acidic radical: CO32- (carbonate ion)
b. Basic radical : NH4+ (ammonium ion)
And the salt is (NH4 )2CO3 (ammonium carbonate)
