Quick Recap — Salt Analysis & Preparations

  • Anions: carbonate, sulphide, sulphite (gas evolution with acid); halide (AgX), sulphate (BaSO4BaSO_4), nitrate (brown ring), phosphate (yellow with ammonium molybdate).
  • Cation groups: I (Pb, Ag, Hg2_2)/HCl; II (Cu, Pb, …)/H2SH_2S acid; III (Fe, Al, Cr)/NH4OHNH_4OH; IV (Zn, Mn, Ni, Co)/H2SH_2S basic; V (Ba, Sr, Ca)/carbonate; VI (Mg).
  • Titrations: acid-base (choose indicator by strength), redox (KMnO4KMnO_4, K2Cr2O7K_2Cr_2O_7, iodometry), N1V1=N2V2N_1V_1=N_2V_2.
  • Preparations: double salt (Mohr's salt), potash alum, aspirin, dyes.
