Groups of Cations Flashcards
Cation that does not react with HCl, forms a PRECIPITATE in H2S in dilute mineral acid medium, and forms a YELLOW precipitate with Ammonium Polysulfide.
Cd2+
Cation that does not react with HCl, H2S in dilute mineral acid medium and (NH4)2Sbut forms a **WHITE **precipitate with NH4Cl.
Fresh Sample + Saturated CaSO4 yields a **WHITE **precipitate immediately
Ba2+
Cation that does not react with HCl, forms a PRECIPITATE in H2S in dilute mineral acid medium, SOLUBLE in Ammonium Polysulfide and a fresh sample forms a YELLOW precipitate with Acidified H2S which does not dissolve in excess (NH4)2CO3.
Sn4+
Cation that does not react with HCl and H2S in dilute mineral acid medium but forms a WHITE precipitate with (NH4)2S.
Fresh sample + NH3 forms a WHITE precipitate insoluble in excess reagent
Al3+
Cation that does not react with HCl, forms a PRECIPITATE in H2S in dilute mineral acid medium, SOLUBLE in Ammonium Polysulfide and a fresh sample forms a **BROWN **precipitate with Acidified H2S
Sn2+
Cation that does not react with HCl, forms a **PRECIPITATE **in H2S in dilute mineral acid medium, SOLUBLE in Ammonium Polysulfide and a fresh sample forms a YELLOW precipitate with Acidified H2S which dissolves in excess (NH4)2CO3.
Fresh sample + 1:1 HCl + KI yields no coloration.
As3+
Cation that does not react with HCl, forms a PRECIPITATE in H2S in dilute mineral acid medium, INSOLUBLE in Ammonium Polysulfide and a fresh sample forms a **BLUE **precipitate with NaOH.
Cu2+
Cation which forms a precipitate with dilute HCl. Upon addition of NH3no change will be observed
Lead
Cation that does not react with HCl, H2S in dilute mineral acid medium and (NH4)2S but forms a WHITE precipitate with NH4Cl.
Fresh Sample + Saturated CaSO4 yields a **WHITE **precipitate slowly
Sr2+
Cation which forms a precipitate with dilute HCl and turns **BLACK **upon the addition of NH3
Hg22+
Cation that does not react with HCl and H2S in dilute mineral acid medium but forms a** BLACK** precipitate with (NH4)2S which is INSOLUBLE in 1:1 HCl
Fresh sample + NaOH yields a BLUE precipitate which turns PINK upon standing
Co2+
Cation that does not react with HCl and H2S in dilute mineral acid medium but forms a BLACK precipitate with (NH4)2S which is INSOLUBLE in 1:1 HCl
Fresh sample + NaOH yields a GREEN precipitate.
Ni2+
Cation that does not react with HCl and H2S in dilute mineral acid medium but forms a **GREEN **precipitate with (NH4)2S.
Fresh sample + NaOH forms a **GREEN **precipitate soluble in excess reagent
Cr3+
Cation that does not react with HCl and H2S in dilute mineral acid medium but forms a PINK precipitate with (NH4)2S.
Fresh sample + NaOH forms a WHITE precipitate that turns **DARK **upon standing.
Mn2+
Cation that does not react with HCl, forms a **PRECIPITATE **in H2S in dilute mineral acid medium, SOLUBLE in Ammonium Polysulfide and a fresh sample forms an ORANGE precipitate with Acidified H2S. Fresh sample + 1:1 HCl + KI yields Brown Color
Sb5+
