    The document describes experiments conducted to analyze an unknown simple salt, which was found to contain lead nitrate based on observations such as a heavy white precipitate forming when the original solution was treated with dilute hydrochloric acid and yellow precipitates forming with potassium chromate and potassium iodide solutions, confirming the presence of the lead cation and nitrate anion.

    Analysis of a Simple Salt- Lead Nitrate

    Aim: To analyse the given simple salt and to report the cation and anion with a systemic procedure.
    Apparatus required: Test tubes, Boiling tubes, test tube stand, watch glass, spatula, and the required
    chemicals.

    S.No Experiment Observation Inference


    Prelimiary tests:
    1 Colour White Absence of coloured salts
    like Cu2+, Fe2+or Fe3+
    2 Odour/ Smell No characteristic smell Absence of NH4+ cation
    3 Density Heavy May be Lead
    4 Flame Test: Salt + Conc. No characteristic-coloured Absence of Ca2+ and Cu2+
    HCl → made into a thin paste flame
    and introduced into the
    flame.
    5 Dilute H2SO4 test: A small No characteristic observation Absence of CO32-
    amount of salt + 2ml of dil.
    H2SO4.
    6 Conc. H2SO4 test: A small Light brown fumes are evolved Presence of NO3-
    amount of salt + 2 drops of
    Conc.H2SO4.
    Analysis of anion
    7 Silver Nitrate test: Salt + dil. No Characteristic observation Absence of Cl-
    HNO3 + AgNO3 solution.
    8 Dilute H2SO4 test: No effervescence Absence of CO3-
    Salt + Dil.H2SO4
    9 Barium chloride test: White precipitate which Absence of SO42-
    Salt + dil. HCl + BaCl2 solution. dissolves in Dil. HCl
    10 Confirmatory test of Nitrate:
    (i) Salt + few copper turnings + 2 Evolution of brown fumes Presence of NO3- is
    drops of Conc.H2SO4 and confirmed
    heated.
    (ii) Brown ring test: A dark brown ring is formed at Presence of NO3- is
    Salt solution + 2 mL of Conc. the junction of the two confirmed
    H2SO4-mixed thoroughly in a solutions
    test tube and added freshly
    prepared ferrous sulphate
    solution along the sides of the
    test tube
    The given anion is Nitrate
    Analysis of Cation
    Inter group separation
    11.Preparation of original solution: Original Solution is prepared by dissolving salt in water
    Original solution + Nessler’s No precipitate Absence of zero group
    reagent cation
    Original solution + Dil.HCl Heavy white precipitate Presence of Group I cation
    12. Confirmatory Test for Lead Cation
    Salt + K2CrO4 solution Yellow precipitate of PbCrO4 Presence of Pb2+ is
    confirmed
    Salt + KI solution Yellow precipitate of PbI2 Presence of Pb2+ is
    confirmed
    The given cation is Lead
    The given salt contains Lead as Cation and Nitrate as anion
