    The document outlines preliminary and confirmatory tests for Zinc Acetate (Zn(CH₃COO)₂), detailing various tests such as color, odor, flame, and ash tests, along with their observations and inferences. The results confirm the presence of acetate (CH₃COO⁻) as the acid radical and zinc (Zn²⁺) as the basic radical. Overall, the tests indicate the composition of Zinc Acetate and the absence of other ions.
