Test on Colgate

Experiment Observation Inference

Take a part of the Formation of 𝐶𝑂32− 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑚𝑒𝑑
solution and add white ppt
MgSO4 solution
Take a part of the Formation of 𝐶𝑎2+ confirmed
solution and add white ppt
NH4OH solution
Take a part of the Formation of 𝑃𝑂43− confirmed
solution and add white ppt
magnesium mixture
(Mixture of NH4Cl
and NH4OH)
Acidify a portion of A yellow ppt is 𝐼 − confirmed
solution with dil formed which is
HNO3 boil and cool. insoluble in
Then add AgNO3 NH4OH

Take a small part of Smells like vinegar 𝐶𝐻3𝐶𝑂𝑂 − absent

the solution then add
oxalic acid
To one part of the No reaction 𝑃𝑏 2+ absent
solution add KI
To one part of the Formation of 𝑀𝑔2+ confirmed
solution add solid white ppt
NH4Cl and NH4OH
in slight excess and
then add (NH4)3PO4
2+
Hence ions present in the toothpaste are 𝑀𝑔 , 𝐼 − , 𝑃𝑂43− , 𝐶𝑎2+ , 𝐶𝑂32−
