π¬ Qualitative analysis of cations and anions can be performed using four methods: precipitation, flame test, gas-forming reactions, and color changes.
π§ͺ Cations can be classified into five groups based on their behavior with specific reagents.
βοΈ Group 1 cations precipitate with hydrochloric acid, group 2 cations precipitate with hydrogen sulfide or potassium iodide, group 3 cations do not precipitate with group 1 and 2 reagents but do with ammonia or sodium hydroxide, and group 4 cations do not precipitate with group 1 to 3 reagents.
π Different groups of cations can be identified based on their reactions to various reagents.
π¬ Group 1 cations can be precipitated with hydrochloric acid, while groups 2 to 5 cations do not react.
π§ͺ After precipitation, some of the formed precipitates dissolve in hot water, while others remain undissolved.
π Qualitative analysis of cations and anions involves the identification of lead, mercury, and silver ions.
π§ͺ Specific reagents like acetic acid, potassium chromate, and hydrogen sulfide are used to test for lead ions.
π¬ Lead ions form orange precipitate with potassium chromate and black precipitate with hydrogen sulfide, indicating their presence.
π¬ Qualitative analysis of cations and anions.
βοΈ Specific tests for mercury, lead, bismuth, copper, and cadmium ions.
π‘π΄ Yellow precipitate for arsenic cations, red-brown precipitate for copper ions.
π΅ Identification of copper and cadmium ions.
π£ Purple solution indicates the presence of tin ions.
Qualitative analysis of group 3-5 cations and anions.
Group 3 cations can be distinguished by adding ammonia and ammonium chloride.
Group 3a cations form green precipitate when reacted with specific reagents.
1οΈβ£ Golongan 5 cannot form precipitates with ammonium carbonate.
2οΈβ£ Barium ions are indicated by the formation of yellow barium chromate precipitate.
3οΈβ£ Group 5 cations do not precipitate and are tested specifically for strontium and calcium ions.
π Qualitative analysis of cations and anions.
π§ͺ Group 1 anions form precipitates, while group 2 anions undergo redox reactions.
π¬ Group 1 anions include sulfate, phosphate, and chromate, among others.
