Sodium hydroxide solution and solution of copper (II) ions
Blue precipitate
Sodium hydroxide solution and solution of iron (II) ions
Green precipitate

Brown precipitate
Carbonate ion
Add dilute acid, the acid produces carbon dioxide, bubble through limewater to see if it goes cloudy.
Halide ions
Add dilute nitric acid, add dilute silver nitrate solution, produces a precipitate of the silver halide
Silver chloride ion
White precipitate
Silver bromide ion
Cream precipitate
Silver iodide ion
Yellow precipitate
Sulfate ion
Add dilute hydrochloric acid, add barium chloride solution, produces a white precipitate.
