Question
6. A mixture contains at least one of the ions in the silver group (Ag*, Hg²*, Pb²+). Read the
following procedure and determine which ions are present.
Cold 6M HCl was added to the mixture producing a white precipitate. Hot water was then
added and the solution was stirred, and the supernatant decanted to isolate a white precipitate
after centrifugation. Sulfuric acid was added to one portion of the supernatant and potassium
chromate was added to a second portion of the supernatant, but no precipitates formed. The
isolated white precipitate was mixed well with 4 drops of concentrated ammonia. The
resulting solution was centrifuged. The supernatant was decanted to show the presence of a
grayish-black precipitate. To the supernatant, concentrated nitric acid was added dropwise
until blue litmus paper added turned red and a white precipitate was present.
