In summary, the conversation revolves around identifying anions and cations in different solutions through various chemical reactions. The first two questions focus on identifying the anion present in a solution through the formation of a precipitate and its reaction with other substances. The third question involves identifying two cations present in a blue solution through a similar process. The conversation also includes suggestions for studying and preparing for the lab.

Can someone help with these questions:

a)Silver nitrate is added to a solution and a precipitate forms. This precipitate dissolves when concentrated ammonia is added. What anion was present in the original solution?
b)When dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a solution, a gas is evolved. If this gas is passed through a solution containing calcium hydroxide, a white precipitate forms. What anion was present in the original solution?
c)You are provided an aqueous solution which is blue. Addition of dilute hydrochloric acid produces a precipitate. The precipitate dissolves when the solution is heated to boiling. What two cations were in the original solution?

Thanks.

surely you would get a table of anions and colour precipitate, with whether it dissolves completely in conc. ammonia.

No, these questions we have to answer b4 going to the lab. So can someone give a hint on how to answer them?
THanks.

First post? So you apparently created an account just to write a unintelligible response to a post that's from five years ago?
 

FAQ: Inorganic Analysis(Cations & Anions)

What is the purpose of inorganic analysis?

Inorganic analysis is used to determine the presence and concentration of cations and anions in a sample. This can provide valuable information about the chemical composition and potential uses of a substance.

How is inorganic analysis performed?

Inorganic analysis involves various techniques such as spectroscopy, chromatography, and titration to identify and quantify cations and anions. The specific method used depends on the type of sample and the elements being analyzed.

What are cations and anions?

Cations are positively charged ions, while anions are negatively charged ions. They are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons, resulting in an overall charge. Inorganic analysis helps to identify and measure the concentration of these ions in a sample.

What types of samples can be analyzed using inorganic analysis?

Inorganic analysis can be used to analyze a wide range of samples, including water, soil, minerals, and biological samples. It is also commonly used in industrial processes to analyze raw materials and products.

What are the applications of inorganic analysis?

Inorganic analysis has many applications in fields such as environmental science, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. It is also used in quality control and research and development to ensure the purity and consistency of products.
