Experiment 3

The document outlines a laboratory experiment for the analysis of Group IV cations, detailing the procedures for precipitation and testing of ions such as Barium, Strontium, Calcium, and Magnesium. It includes steps for mixing solutions, centrifugation, and flame tests to confirm the presence of specific ions. The methodology emphasizes careful observation of color changes and the use of various reagents to achieve accurate results.
