    The salt was analyzed qualitatively and found to contain: - Copper (II) ions based on a bluish-green flame test and black precipitate formed with H2S gas. Further tests with ammonium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and potassium ferrocyanide confirmed the presence of Cu2+ ions. - Sulfate ions based on a white precipitate with barium chloride and lead acetate tests that was insoluble in dilute hydrochloric acid. The unknown salt was determined to be cupric sulfate (CuSO4) based on the identification of copper (II) and sulfate ions.

    UNKNOWN SALT-3

    AIM: To analyse the given unknown salt qualitatively for the presence of acidic and basic
    radicals and report the tests.

    PROCEDURE:

    I: PRELIMINARY TESTS:

    EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE


    1. Physical Examination:
    a) Noted the colour of the given Blue coloured May be Cu2+ is present.
    salt.

    b) Noted the smell of the given No Characteristic smell NH4+ may be absent
    salt

    c) Noted state of the salt Crystalline --


    2. Dry Heating test:
    Heated a pinch of salt in a dry Intensity of colour decreased
    test tube Water drops are formed on the May be a hydrated salt
    inner walls of the test tube

    3. Flame Test:
    Little amount of salt is taken in
    a watch glass and 1 or 2 drops Bluish green colour is observed
    of Conc. HCl is added to make a Cu2+ ions may be present
    paste. The paste is introduced
    into the flame of the Bunsen
    burner with the help of a
    platinum wire.

    II. IDENTIFICATION OF ANION (ACIDIC RADICAL):

    EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE


    1 Dil H2SO4 Test :
    To the pinch of given salt dil No gas is evolved. Carbonate CO32- ion is absent
    H2SO4 is added

    2. Action of Conc. H2SO4 :


    (Cold conditions) :
    To the pinch of salt little conc. No colourless or greenish yellow Chloride ion Cl- is absent
    H2SO4 is added gas evolved
    No reddish brown gas evolved Bromide ion Br- is absent
    (Hot conditions) :
    To the pinch of salt little conc. No reddish brown gas evolved Nitrate ion NO3- is absent
    H2SO4 is added and heated.

    3. Test for Independent radicals A white ppt is formed which is Sulphate ion SO42- is present.
    (SO42- ion) insoluble in dil. HCl solution
    To the salt solution add little
    BaCl2 solution

    Confirmatory test for sulphate A white ppt is formed which is Sulphate ion SO42- is confirmed.
    ion SO42- ion : insoluble in conc. HCl solution
    To the salt solution add little
    lead acetate solution

    III IDENTIFICATION OF CATION (BASIC RADICAL) :

    EXPERIMENT OBSERVATION INFERENCE

    Analysis of Group Zero


    Cations

    TEST FOR AMMONIUM (NH4+)


    ION

    1. Sodium hydroxide test :

    A pinch of the given salt is No colourless gas is evolved Ammonium ion NH4+ is absent.
    heated with conc. NaOH, with ammonical smell.

    Analysis of Group I Cations


    No white ppt is formed. Lead ion Pb2+ is absent.
    To the salt solution little dil
    HCl is added

    Analysis of Group II
    Cations

    To the salt solution added


    little dil HCl and pass H2S Black ppt is formed
    gas into it. Cu2+ ion may be present

    Confirmatory test for Cupric


    Cu2+ ion :

    1. To the salt solution added


    NH4OH solution. Blue ppt forms
    Add excess NH4OH to the ppt.
    To the pinch of given salt add Blue ppt is soluble in excess
    conc. NaOH solution. Pass the NH4OH. Cu2+ ion is confirmed.
    gas into Nessler’s reagent

    2. To the salt solution added


    NaOH solution Blue ppt is formed
    Cu2+ ion is confirmed.
    3. To the salt solution added
    Potassium ferrocyanide solution Chocolate Brown coloured ppt
    is formed Cu2+ ion is confirmed.

    RESULT:
    The acid radical present in the given salt is : Sulphate SO42- ion
    The basic radical present in the given salt is : Cupric Cu2+ ion
    The given unknown salt is : Cupric Sulphate CuSO4
