No reaction occurs when you add HCl to an aqueous solution of your salt What can you conclude from this outcome? Your salt unknown is a colorless, granular solid. When dissolved in water it does not form a colored solution with ammonia under basic (alkaline) conditions. What cations can you conclude are not present? A solution of your salt unknown reacts with KSCN to form a deep red color which remains in solution. What ion is indicated by this result?

  1. No reaction occurs when you add HCl to an aqueous solution of your salt What can you conclude from this outcome?
  2. Your salt unknown is a colorless, granular solid. When dissolved in water it does not form a colored solution with ammonia under basic (alkaline) conditions. What cations can you conclude are not present?
  3. A solution of your salt unknown reacts with KSCN to form a deep red color which remains in solution. What ion is indicated by this result?
Procedure:
B. Test for carbonate ion (CO,?)
Add 1 ml of 1M Na,CO: (or your unknown) and1 ml of 6M HCI to a small test
tube.
C. Test for sulfate ion (SO,)
Add 1 ml of 0.5 M Na,SO. (or your unknown) and 1 ml of 6 M HCI to a small
test tube. Next add a few drops of 1 M Baclı.
D. Test for phosphate ion (PO, *)
Add 1 ml of 0.5 M Na;HPO. (or your unknown) and 1 ml of 6 M HNO3 to a
small test tube. Next add a 1 ml of 0.5 M (NH4),MoO, and stir thoroughly. Place
the test tube in the hot water bath and continue to stir.
E. Test for thiocyanate ion, (SCN)
Add 1 ml of 0.5 M KSCN (or your unknown) and 1 ml of 6 M acetic acid
(HC,H;O2) to a small test tube. Now add 2 drops of 0.1 M Fe (NO:)3. A dark red
solution indicates the presence of SCN-.
F. Test for chloride ion, (Cl-)
Add 1 ml of 0.5 M NaCI (or your unknown) and 1 ml of 6 M HNO; to a small
test tube. Next add 2 to 3 drops of 0.1 M AGNO:.
G. Test for nitrate ion, (NO, )
Add 1 ml of 0.5 M NANO: (or your unknown) and 1 ml of 6 M N2OH to a small
test tube. Then add a few granules of aluminum metal and put the test tube in
the hot water bath. Place a red litmus paper directly above the testtube.
