Chemistry Lab Ammonium Sulphate

The document outlines a series of experiments conducted to identify the components of a given salt. Observations from preliminary tests indicated the absence of certain cations and anions, while confirmatory tests confirmed the presence of sulfate and ammonium ions. The final result identified the salt as ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4.

Experiment Observation Inference

A.Preliminary test

1.noted the colour and colourless absence of cu2+,Ni2+,Fe2+ etc


appearance of the salt

2.Flame test:a little salt is

Made into paste with con.HCl


and introduced into the non no characteristic colour absence of barium & calcium
Luminous flame

3.Ash test: to a little of the salt l


con.HNO3 & cobalt nitrate solutions
Added and boiled.A filter paper dipped
In this solution is burnt into ash no characteristic ash absence of Al,Zn & Mg

B.identification of tests of anions

1.a little of the salt is added to dil.HCL No brisk effervescence absence of carbonate

Taken in a test tube

2.a little of the salt is rubbed with No smell of vinegar absence of acetate
dil.H2so4 in a watch glass

3.a little of the salt is heated with No characteristic observation absence of chloride
con.H2so4 in a dry test tube

4.a little of the salt is heated with No characteristic observation absence of chloride
con.H2so4 and a paper ball is added

5.a little of the salt solution BaCl2 white precipitate insoluble in presence of sulphate
Solution is added Dil.HCl

C.confirmatory test for anions

5.sulphate- to salt solution lead acetate is added thick white precipitate is dissolves presence of sulphate is confirmed
In ammonium acetate
Report
The given salt contains the anion

Sulphate(SO4)2-

D.analysis of cations

Group 0- to salt solution Na2CO3 solution is added no precipitate presence of zero group cation(NH4+)

Analaysis of group 0 cation brown precipitate presence of ammonium is identified

1.to salt solution nessler’s reagent is added


2.to salt solution NaOH solution is added
And boiled colourless gas of ammonia presence of ammonium confirmed

Producing dense white fumes

With a glass rod dipped in


con.HCL

Report
The given salt contains the cation=Ammonium NH+4
Result
The given salt is= ammonium sulphate(NH4)2SO4
