Question

inorganic salt 'M'.

Answer 1

The identification of the acid radicals is first done on the basis of preliminary tests. Dry heating test is one of the preliminary tests performed earlier which may give some important information about the acid radical present. Dry and wet test of Cation ⇒ Dry tests are those tests which are performed with the solid salt (or a mixture of salts), while wet tests are those tests which are preformed by dissolving the salt. (or mixture of salts) in water, acid or any other solvent. Inorganic salts can be obtained with a base through complete or partial neutralization of acid. The part that the acid contributes is called anion in the formation of a salt and the part that the base contributes is called cation.
