Anion Analysis Lab Report

This lab report summarizes tests conducted on a salt sample to determine its anion composition. Test 1 involved adding the solid salt to dilute hydrochloric acid and heating, which produced no reaction, indicating the salt was not a carbonate or nitrite. Test 2 added the solid to concentrated sulfuric acid, producing effervescence and misty white fumes, showing the salt was not a sulfite or sulfide and possibly a chloride. Test 3 used solutions of the salt, silver nitrate and ammonia, forming a white precipitate of silver chloride, confirming the salt was a chloride.

ANION ANALYSIS LAB REPORT TEST SALT No. X Test 1: Solid + dil.

hydrochloric acid + heat Test 2: Solid + conc. Sulfuric acid OBSERVATION CONCLUSION

No effervescence at room temperature No effervescence Effervescence, (frothing) at room temperature. Misty white fumes produced

Salt is not a carbonate or nitrite Salt is not a sulfite or sulfide

Salt could be a chloride

Test 3 a): Aqueous, acidified solution of salt + aqueous silver nitrate, + conc. aqueous ammonia added dropwise with shaking

White precipitate produced Precipitate easily dissolved

Salt is probably a chloride Salt is definitely a chloride Equations:
