Qualitative Test for Some Cations I (The Silver Group)

Objective: At the end of the class the student should be able to:
1. Separate, detect and identify the ions in a given unknown solution possibly containing the ions of the silver group.
2. Identify the substance responsible for the positive result of each test
3. Point out the suitable conditions necessary for the detection process and the reasons for such conditions
Introduction

Procedure:
1. 3 test tube labeled 1,2,3 was obtained
2. 10 drops of 0.3M lead nitrate solution was placed to TT 1
3. 10 drops of 0.5M silver nitrate solution was placed to TT 2
4. 10 drops of 0.5 mercurous nitrate solution was placed to TT 3
5. One drop of cold. 6N HCl solution was added to each TT. When precipitate forms, the HCl solution was continue to add in each TT drop by drop until no precipitate was form
6. The precipitate was settled down and the supernatant liquid was decant
7. The precipitate in the TT was added with 10 drops of distilled water, heated and shake
8. 5 drops of potassium chromate on the solution was added to TT 1
9. 10 drops of 6N ammonium hydroxide was added to TT 2 and 3
10. 6N HNO3 was added to TT 2
11. The precipitate in step 10 was placed in a container
Result (data sheet)
Discussion
Exercise 19 “Qualitative Test for some Cations 1”. For this exercise we obtained 3 test tube, each test tube was treated with different reagent (6N HCl, hot H2O, K2CrO4, 6N NH4OH, 6N HNO3). TT 1,2 and 3 with reagent treatment 6N form a white precipitate, TT 1 with hot H2O was dissolved and color orange while TT 2 and 3 was undissolved. For reagent treatment K2CrO4, TT 1 form yellow precipitate, TT 2 treated with 6N NH4OH was dissolved while on TT 3 it form black precipitate. Lastly, for TT 2 treated with 6N HNO3. The role of n6N HCl solution is to form precipitate. Substances formed when 6N HCl was added to TT1 is

    10 drops of an unknown solution into a test tube. add four drops of 6M HCl, then stir it and place in centrifuge for 30seconds to a minute. Test for completeness of precipitation after testing for precipitation add one drop no more than one drop of 6 M HCl to the supernate. When the supernate turns cloudy means a few of the group 1 cations have precipitated. Add few more drops of the 6 M HCl, stir, then centrifuge. If necessary repeat the process until no more precipitate forms. take the precipitate and add 5 drops of water.…

    The solution then gets foggy/cloudy and white snowlike precipitate is floating within the solution. Heat is added along with a stir bar. The stir bar starts stirring at minute 7. It begins to dissolve the white powder as it spins. At minute 26 the solution becomes clear with barely any flakes left. Sulfuric acid is then added and white flakes are formed. More acid is added until the pH paper turns red. The round bottom is filled with white precipitate. The precipitate is put onto a hirsh funnel that uses vacuum filtration to isolate the precipitate. The product is then added to a beaker with D.I water and heated. It’s put through the hirsh funnel . 3.68 grams of salicylic acid is recovered. The melting point is tested to compare to a perfect sample. The melting point is 146C0. The product is dried and added to a beaker with D.I. water and 10mL of acetic anhydride and 20 drops of concentrated sulfuric acid. This product is chilled to produce crystals. Its then filtered using a hirsh filter using vacuum filtration. Recrystallized and filtered one last time. The product is now acetylsalicylic acid…

    There are four halide salts used in this experiment that are found in the human body. Sodium fluoride is poisonous, but has been traced to be beneficial to humans in the prevention of tooth decay. Sodium chloride is added to many of our foods to increase flavor. Sodium chloride is important for many life processes, but too much intake is linked to high blood pressure. Sodium bromide is distributed throughout body tissues. Sodium iodine controls cell growth. The principal oxidation number of the halogens is -1. All halogens, except fluorine have other oxidation numbers. In this experiment the production of recognizable precipitates and complex ions will be found. Observations will be used to determine the halide ion presented in the unknown solution.…

    Question 1. Presumably I have an acidic compound and a neutral compound in the mixture. The acid is represent by RCOOH. So with the NaOH added, it form the sodium salt (which is soluble in water and the neutral compound is not). RCOOH goes to RCOONa. Then I separate the layers, add HCl to the RCOONa which forms the original acid and that is what is precipitating. If I have all of the acid removed from the mixture, then the second extract contains no RCOONa and no precipitate is formed when HCl is added.…

    This experiment seeks to explore different chemical reactions conducted in the lab. A cation is defined as positively charged ions, which are K+ and Pb2+ in this experiment, and an anion is termed as negatively charged ions, which are CrO4 2- and NO3 2-. The major objective of this lab experiment was to examine the reaction between cations and anions, as well as observing, and documenting the chemical reactions. We will be demonstrating the reaction between a solution of Lead Nitrate with a chemical formula of PbNO3 2, and a Potassium Chromate solution with a chemical formula of K2CrO4. The end result from mixing the two solutions should have a combined set of either the Pb2+ or K+ cation and likewise with the NO3 2- or CrO4 2- anion in its chemical formula. This experiment will demonstrate the chemical reaction between the cations and anions with an expected end result of a solid substance, which validates that a chemical reaction occurred.…
