N-Bottle Lab
Determine the correct identity of thirteen (14)cations and six (6) anions in fourteen (14) different bottles usingflame tests, acid-base properties, solubility rules, formation ofcomplex ions, and types of chemical reactions (i.e. formation of asolid, or a gas-formation reaction).
. Eachsolution will contain one (1) cation and one (1) anion. The cationsthat could be present in a solution areH+1,Na+1,K+1,NH4+1,Ag+1,Ba+2,Cu+2,Ni+2,Sr+2,Co+2,Zn+2,Al+3,Ca2+and Fe+3. The anions that could be present areNO3-1,OH-1,SCN-1,Cl-SO4-2, andCO3-2.
I needto know the fastest and easiest way to test for all of thesewithout having to repeat many steps over and over again. Could youplease list for each anion and cation what is the best and sure wayto determine each by listing what color the litmus paper will be,color of precipitate or no precipitate, smell, and so on. This isworth a huge portion of my grade and needs to be done perfectly. Itis 8 AM now and I need to leave for lab at 2 PM so I have time andthe more data the better! Honestly, I would give up all of myremaining 18 questions to have this done perfectly! Thank you sovery much!
