About this document
Qualitative Analysis of Group I Cations by Vionetta N is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes an experiment to qualitatively analyze a mixture of Group I cations (Pb2+, Hg22+, Ag+) using precipitation reactions. The procedure involves adding HCl, HNO3, and NH3 to solutions of each cation that will produce characteristic precipitates or colors to identify each ion - Pb2+ forms a yellow PbCrO4 precipitate, Hg22+ forms a black/grey solid, and Ag+ forms a white AgCl precipitate. The waste is disposed of in a heavy metal inorganic waste container.
