Qualitative Analysis Name Date PRE-LAB QUESTIONS 1. For each of the following descriptions of different solutions, what inferences can be made? (Which ion(s) are indicated as possibly present, confirmed present, absent, or no conclusion?) a. Hot water was added to a white precipitate (AgCl and/or PbCl,). After stirring, the precipi- tate completely dissolved forming a colorless solution b. Aqueous ammonia was added to a solution (Cu2 and/or Bi). Afer stirring, a white pre- cipitate formed, with a colorless solution above it. c. HCl was added to a Group 1 and 2 Unknown (Ag*, Pb2-, Cu2+ and/or Bi3+). After stirring, some white precipitate formed and the solution above the precipitate was colorless. d. Aqueous ammonia was added to a solution (Cu+ and/or Bi3+). After stirring, a dark blue solution formed with no precipitate 2. A student performing the Qual Group 1 and 2 Unknown Analysis did not have any precipitate remaining after step 1-A. What steps should the student omit from the procedure? Explain your answer. A student performing the Qual Group 1 and 2 Unknown Analysis did not have any precipitate remaining after step 1-B. What steps should the student omit from the procedure? Explain your answer 3. performing the Qual Group 1 and 2 Unknown Analysis did not have any precipitate A student remaining after step 2-B. What steps should the student omit from the procedure? Explain your answer. 17Explanation / Answer
1. Conclusions
a. PbCl2 is soluble in hot water, AgCl is insoluble in hot water : Thus PbCl2 is present
b. Bi3+ forms the insoluble hydroxide with aq. NH3 : Thus Bi3+ is present
c. Group I cations form insoluble chlorides upon addition of dil HCl : thus Ag+ and Pb2+ are present
d. Cu2+ forms ammonia complex with excess NH3 added which is blue in color : Thus Cu2+ is present
2. The student should avoid adding hot water to the precipitate mixture so that the formed precipitate does not dissolve and we could isolate it for further characterisation.
As per chegg policy we will give first question only thank you
