(A) Physical Characteristics

The document describes experiments to identify the acid radical present in a salt sample. Tests were conducted including reactions with sulfuric acid, oxalic acid, and manganese dioxide. A confirmatory test with silver nitrate produced a yellow precipitate, confirming the presence of iodide ions.

EXPERIMENT NO:7

AIM: To identify the acid radical present in the given salt sample.

(A) PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:


Colour-White, Odour: odourless
State: crystalline, Solubility: soluble in water
(B) DRY TESTS FOR ACID RADICALS:-
S.No Experiment Observation Inference
i Dilute sulphuric acid test – To a pinch of salt No brisk effervescence CO3 2- absent
taken in a dry test tube, 1-2 ml of dil. H2SO4 was No gas with smell of SO3 2- absent
added. burning sulphur
No gas with rotten egg S 2- absent
smell
No reddish brown gas NO2- absent
ii Oxalic acid test- To a pinch of the salt taken on No smell of vinegar CH3COO- absent
a watch glass, oxalic acid crystals and few drops
of water were added to make a paste.
iii MnO2 test- To a pinch of the salt taken in a dry Deep violet vapours The evolving gas
test tube with equal amount of MnO2,1-2ml evolve which turn is I2 and the
conc. H2SO4 was added and heated. starch solution blue presence of I- ion
is indicated.
CHEMICAL REACTIONS INVOLVED:-
MnO2 + 3H2SO4 + 2I- → MnSO4 + I2 ↑ + 2HSO4- + 2H2O
Deep violet vapours

(C) WET TEST FOR CONFIRMATION OF ACID RADICAL:-

(i) Preparation of original solution- A little amount of salt was taken in a clean dry test tube to which 5
ml distilled water was added. The test tube was shaken till the salt dissolved and a clear solution was
obtained. This solution is labeled as original solution (o.s)
(ii) Confirmatory test of Iodide ion:

NH4OH solution.
CHEMICAL REACTIONS INVOLVED:-
AgNO3 (aq) + Cl- (aq) → AgI ↓ + NO3-
