But which ones?
I know carbonate, chloride, phosphate, sulfate, lead (II), Copper, Calcium and Barium
Any others I should know?
ur such a stooge. u had all year to learn this shyt and u decide to recite it the night before?
test for cations
add chloride if a white precipitate occurs then Pb is present. if no reaction than SO4 is added and if a white precipitate occurs then this indicates that Ba + Ca are present(which will further be determined by flame tests) if no results are identified then OH is added and a blue precipitate identifies copper, brown precipitate indicates iron 3+ with green precipitate turning brown identifying iron 2+.
Test for anions.
An acid is added, if bubbles appear then carbonate (CO3) is present. If no reaction is seen then barium is added, a white precipitate will indicate SO4, if no result is identified then Ag is added, a white precipitate which darkens in sunlight will identify chloride. If no reaction is seen then iron is added, a green precipitate will identify PO3.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
