Cu2+ (ii) Acidify the second portion with acetic acid and add potassium Ferrocyanide. Reddish brown precipitate is obtained. 2Cu2+ + [Fe(CN)6]4-® Cu2[Fe(CN)6] Cu2+ b) If the solution is colour less perform the following tests. (i) Add KI to one part of the above solution. Yellow precipitate due to the formation of PbI2 which is soluble in hot water reappears as golden spangles on cooling. Pb2+ + 2I-® PbI2 Pb2+ Confirmed (ii)Add K2CrO4 to another part of the solution Yellow precipitate due to the formation of PbCrO4 Pb2+ + CrO42-® PbCrO4 Pb2+ Confirmed III Group Dissolve the white gelatinous precipitate by boiling with NaOH solution and divide it into two parts. (i) To the first part add NH4Cl and boil White precipitate Al3+ present (ii) To the second part add dil. HCl ,litmus solution and excess of NH4OH A blue lake Presence of Al3+ confirmed. Ash test: Group III residue + 3 drops of conc. HNO3 + 3 drops of Cobalt nitrate. Dip a rolled filter paper in this solution and burn in the flame A Blue tinted ash is obtained. 2Al(OH)3 ® Al2O3 + 3H2O. 2 Al2O3 + 2Co(NO)3 ® 2CoO.Al2O3 + 4NO2 + O2 Presence of Al3+ confirmed. B) Gelatinous brown ppt. Fe(OH)3. Dissolve the ppt. in dil HCl and divide it into two parts. (i) To one part of the above precipitate add Potassium Ferrocyanide solution. A blue (Prussian blue) coloured solution or precipitate is formed. Fe3++ 3 [Fe(CN)6]4-® Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 Presence of Fe3+ indicated. (ii) To the second part add Potassium thiocyanide. Blood red coloration Fe3+ + 3CNS-® Fe(CNS)3 Presence of Fe3+ confirmed. IV Group A) Black precipitate. (NiS) Conformation for Ni2+ Dissolve the black precipitate in dil. HCl add NH4Cl and NH4OH and divide into two parts: Presence of Ni2+ (i) To the first part add Dimethyl Glyoxime Rose Red Precipitate. Presence of Ni2+ Confirmed. (ii) Through the second part pass H2S gas. A black precipitate is formed Presence of Ni2+ Confirmed. B)DullWhite precipitate. Conformation for Zn2+ Dissolve the white ppt. in dilute HCl, to this solution NaOH is first added in drops then in excess until the ppt. dissolves. (i) To one part add Acetic acid and potassium Ferrocyanide. White precipitate is formed. Zn2+ + [Fe(CN)6]4-® Zn2[Fe(CN)6] Presence of Zn2+ confirmed. (ii) Pass H2S and filter White precipitate is formed Presence of Zn2+ confirmed. Ash test: Group IV residue + 3 drops of conc. HNO3 + 3 drops of Cobalt nitrate. Dip a rolled filter paper in this solution and burn it in the non luminous part of the flame. Green tinted ash is formed. Presence of Zn2+ confirmed C) Conformation of Mn2+. Buff precipitate is heated with PbO2 and conc. HNO3 and dilute with water. The supernatent liquid turns pink due to the formation of permanganic acid. 2Mn(NO3)2 + 5PbO + 6HNO3 ® 5Pb(NO3)2 + 2HMnO4 + 2H2O Presence of Mn2+ is confirmed. V Group White precipitate: Dissolve the group V precipitate in minimum quantity of Acetic acid and divide into three parts. Keep aside a part of the group precipitate for Flame test.
