5.Conc.H2SO4 test: Heated a pinch of salt with conc. H2SO4 . A glass rod dipped in NH4OH was shown to mouth of the test tube.

A colourless gas with suffocating smell was evolved. White fumes intensified.

May be Cl-.

OR A colourless gas with smell of vinegar was evolved. OR Colourless gas when passed through lime water, it turns milky. OR Brown fumes evolved,which intensified on addition of MnO2 Brown fumes intensified with copper turnings. Depending on the observation,confirmatory test to be performed there. 6.Test for phosphate Salt solution+ammonium molybdate and heated. 7.Test for sulphate Salt soln+Dil.HCl+BaCl 2 soln Analysis cation 8.test for NH4+ Heated a pinch of the salt with 2-3 ml NaOH solution.

Neatly written Answer sheet impresses every one. Volumetric Analysis

Aim: Apparatus:burette,pipette,volumetric flask,weighing bottle,clamp stand,conical flask,funnel,tile,weight box,balance ,beaker etc Chemicals: Theory: Titration between KMnO4 and Oxalic acid/Mohrs salt solution is a redox titration where KMnO4 oxidises oxalic acd or ferrous ion in Mohrs salt solution to CO2 and ferric ions respectively,itsef is reduced to Mn2+ ions in acidic medium. IONIC EQUATION:

Molecular equation:

Solution in burette:KMnO4 solution in pipette:10 ml oxalic acid / mohrs salt solution

Solution in the conical flask:10ml oxalic acid / mohrs salt solution and half test tube H2SO4 Indicator:KMnO4 is self indicator End point:Colourless-pink Temperature of the reaction:50 60 degree in case of oxalic acid Room temperature in case of mohrs salt solution Medium of the reaction: Acidic Catalyst used: Mn2+ions in case of oxalic acid Calculation for preparation of oxalic acid / Mohrs salt solution: Molarity = no.of moles / vol. of the solution

Wt. of the sample = x g Wt of weighing bottle = W1 g

Wt of weighing bottle + sample = W2 g Wt of the sample = W2 W1 g

OBSERVATION TABLE S.N 1 2 3 Calculation: M1 =molarity of kMnO4 solution M2 =molarity of oxalic acid or Mohrs salt solution V2 = volume of oxalic acid or Mohrs salt solution (10ml) n2 = Stoichiometric coefficient oxalic acid or Mohrs salt solution initial burette reading in ml p q r Final burette reading in ml q r s Difference in volume ( ml) q-p same same

V1 = volume of KMnO4 used

n1 = Stoichiometric coefficient of KMnO4

M1V1 = M2V2 n1 M1 = ? Strength of KMnO4 solution = M1 x 158 = g/l Precautions: Rinse the burette and pipette with respective solutions. Do not heat the mixture in conical flask more than 60 degrr. Add H2SO4 to Mohrs salt while preparing solution. Always take upper meniscus of KmnO4 Take enough care while weighing the sample in analytical balance Do not add KMnO4 soln. from the burette at a stretch. Clean conical flask properly after taking an observation. Add anything u would like to . n2
