what are the type of salt analysis?
The Analysis a salt consists of two parts, identification of the cation and the identification of the anion.
The Summary of Steps
I. Examine the solid and note its distinctive and significant physical properties.
II. Put the solid into solution. See the on line Solubility Rules.
III. Determine what cations are present.
lV. Determine which anions are present.
..... A. Observe the color of the solution.
..... B. Determine whether or not any anions can be eliminated on the basis of the results of the cation analysis.
..... C. Treat the solid salt with 18 M H2SO4.
..... D. Treat a solution of the salt with AgNO3.
..... E. Treat a solution of the salt with BaCl2.
..... F. Perform specific test for the anions that have not been definitely eliminated or verified.
