4. Ring test for NO-2: No characteristic brown ring. -
NO 2 is absent.
Small amount of salt solution is taken in
a test tube & is made acidify by
CH3COOH. To this freshly prepared
FeSO4 solution is added solution is added
along the side of the test tube.
5. Ring test for NO -3: No characteristic brown ring. -
NO3 is absent.
To the salt solution freshly prepared
FeSO4 solution is added. The test tube is
held under tap water to maintain cold
condition. To this solution conc H2SO4 is
added to the side of the test tube in the
inclined condition slowly.

4. The above filtrate/solution is No Precipitate Group – III B absent.
slightly warmed & through this H2S
gas is passed.
The Precipitate obtained in this group is treated with NaOH and H2O2. The mixture is boiled and filtered.
Residue Filtrate
The residue is divided into two parts. To the filtrate Solid NH4Cl is added and the mixture is
heated to boil.
The first part is dissolved in dil HCI and to it Potassium
Ferrocyanide solution is added. No precipitate
● Deep Blue colored precipitate obtained. 3+
Al absent
2+
● Fe confirmed
