Identify one cationic radical by performing dry and wet test of the given
inorganic salt 'M3'
Answers
Explanation:
Aim:
To identify the anionic radicals present in an inorganic mixture of salts by performing various tests.
Theory:
Qualitative analysis involves the detection and identification of acidic and basic radicals present in inorganic salts. Inorganic salts are formed by the reaction of acids and bases or acidic oxides with a base or basic oxides.
Some of the examples of the reaction of acids and bases or acidic oxides with a base or basic oxides are
NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O
CO2 + 2NaOH → Na2CO3 + H2O
KOH + HNO3 → KNO3 + H2O
2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O
Most of the organic compounds are crystalline solids as they have defined geometrical shapes. Usually, they consist of oppositely charged particles or ions called radicals.
In the salt analysis, two fundamental principles are of great use
Solubility Product
Common Ion Effect
