Required Practical: Identifying Ions
There
- There are a number of strategies you could choose in order to identify the ions in unknown salts 2
Common analysis strategies
- Common analysis strategies include flame tests, and tests for sulphate, carbonate and halide ions 3
They
- They can be carried out in any particular order, and you will probably not need to carry them all out on any one sample 4
Only small
- Only small Only small amounts of each sample and reagent are needed 5
You may
- You may You may need to dissolve a sample of salt in a little distilled water if the salt you are given is in the solid state 6
