salt analysis

The document outlines a systematic analysis of various cations and anions through a series of tests including preliminary examinations, flame tests, and confirmatory tests. It details the observations, inferences, and the expected precipitates for different ions such as carbonates, chlorides, and sulfates. Additionally, it provides specific tests for identifying groups of cations like lead, copper, and aluminum, along with their respective confirmations.
