Test for carbonate
CO3 2-
add dilute hydrochloric acid
pass the gas evolved into limewater (calcium hydroxide)
Observation for carbonate
Effervescence is observed. the gas evolved forms a white ppt with lime water
test for chloride
Cl-
add dilute nitric acid then add aqueous silver nitrate
observation for chloride
a white ppt formed, insoluble in dilute HNO3
test for iodide
I-
add dilute nitric acid then add aqueous silver nitrate
observations for iodide
a yellowppt formed, insoluble in diluteHNO3
