40
Q

(t or f)

According to their properties, cations are usually classified into five groups.
–Each group has a common reagent which can be used to separate them from the solution. The separation must be done in the sequence specified, otherwise, some ions of 1st group can also react with 2nd group reagent, so that the solution must not have any ions left from previous groups to obtain meaningful results.

A

true

41
Q

(true or false)
1st analytical group of cations consists of ions that form insoluble chlorides.
•As such, the group reagent to separate them is hydrochloric acid, usually used at a concentration of 1–2 M. Concentrated HCl must not be used, because it forms a soluble complex ion ([PbCl4]2-) with Pb2+. Consequently the Pb2+ ion would go undetected.

A

true

42
Q

true or false

The most important cations in 1st group are Ag+, Hg22+, and Pb2+. The chlorides of these elements cannot be distinguished from each other by their colour - they are all white solid compounds.
•PbCl2 is soluble in hot water, and can therefore be differentiated easily.

A

true

43
Q

true or false

Ammonia is used as a reagent to distinguish between the other two. While AgCl dissolves in ammonia (due to the formation of the complex ion [Ag(NH3)2]+), Hg2Cl2 gives a black precipitate consisting of a mixture of chloro-mercuric amide and elemental mercury. Furthermore, AgCl is reduced to silver under light, which gives samples a violet colour.

A

true

44
Q

true or false
PbCl2 is far more soluble than the chlorides of the other two ions, especially in hot water.
•Therefore, HCl in concentrations which completely precipitate Hg22+ and Ag+, may not be sufficient to do the same to Pb2+.
•Higher concentrations of Cl- cannot be used for the aforementioned reasons.
•Thus, a filtrate obtained after first group analysis of Pb2+ contains an appreciable concentration of this cation, enough to give the test of the second group, viz. formation of an insoluble sulfide.
•For this reason, Pb2+ is usually also included in the 2nd analytical group.

A

true

45
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

The 2nd analytical group of cations consists of ions that forms acid-insoluble sulfides.
•Cations in the 2nd group include: Cd2+, Bi3+, Cu2+, As3+, As5+, Sb3+, Sb5+, Sn2+, Sn4+ and Hg2+.
•Pb2+ is usually also included here in addition to the first group.

A

true

46
Q

true or false

he reagent can be any substance that gives S2- ions in such solutions; most commonly used are H2S (at 0.2-0.3 M), CH3CSNH2 (Thioacetamide/ATK)(at 0.3-0.6 M).
•The test with the sulfide ion must be conducted in the presence of dilute HCl.
•Its purpose is to keep the sulfide ion concentration at a required minimum, so as to allow the precipitation of 2nd group cations alone.

A

true

47
Q

true or false

If dilute acid is not used, the early precipitation of 4th group cations (if present in solution) may occur, thus leading to misleading results.
•Acids beside HCl are rarely used. Sulfuric acid may lead to the precipitation of the 4th group cations, while nitric acid directly reacts with the sulfide ion (reagent), forming colloidal sulfur.

A

true

48
Q

true or false

The precipitates of these cations are almost indistinguishable, except for CdS which is yellow.
•All the precipitates, except for HgS, are soluble in dilute mineral acids. HgS is soluble only in aqua regia, which can be used to separate it from the rest.

A

true

49
Q

true or false
The action of ammonia is also useful in differentiating the cations.
•CuS dissolves in ammonia forming an intense blue solution, while CdS dissolves forming a colourless solution.
•The sulfides of As3+, As5+, Sb3+, Sb5+, Sn2+, Sn4+ are soluble in yellow ammonium sulfide, where they form polysulfide complexes.

A

true

50
Q

true or false

3rd analytical group of cations includes ions that form sulfides which are insoluble in basic solution.
•The reagents are similar to these of the 2nd group, but separation is conducted at pH of 8–9. Occasionally, a buffer solution is used to ensure this pH.
•Cations in the 3rd group are, among others: Zn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Al3+, and Cr3+.

A

true

51
Q

true or false
Ions in 4th analytical group of cations form carbonates that are insoluble in water.
•The reagent usually used is (NH4)2CO3 (at around 0.2 M), the pH should be neutral or slightly basic.
•Caution should be taken to properly separate all lower analytical groups beforehand, as many of cations in previous groups also form insoluble carbonates.

A

true

52
Q

true or false

Cations which are left after carefully separating previous groups are considered to be in the fifth analytical group.
•The most important ones are Mg2+, Li+, Na+, K+ and NH4+.

A

true

53
Q

Halides are precipitated by silver nitrate; they can be further identified by color.
–Sulfates can be precipitated by barium chloride.
–Nitrates can be reduced to ammonia.

A

Detecting Anions

54
Q

consist of CO32-, HCO3-, CH3COO-, S2-, SO32-, S2O32- and NO2-.
•The group reagent for Group 1 anion is HCL(dil) or H2SO4.

A

1st group of anions

55
Q

true or false

Qualitative inorganic analysis is now used only as a pedagogical tool.
•Modern techniques such as atomic absorption spectroscopy and ICP-MS (Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) are able to quickly detect the presence and concentrations of elements using a very small amount of sample.

A

true
