Chemistry
What is Qualitative Analysis?
Qualitative analysis is a
process used to determine and
identify the chemical
properties of an unknown
substance.
In your syllabus, the analysis
will be used to identify the
cations and anions present in
an unknown chemical.
What are Cations?
A cation is a positively charged ion.
For example, sodium ion (Na+
) and
ammonium ion (NH4
+
) are cations.
What are Anions?
An anion is a negatively charged ion.
For example, chloride ion (Cl-
) and
nitrate ion (NO3
-
) are anions.
Salts are ionic compounds.
All salts are ionic compounds and they contain both
cations and anions.
For example, sodium chloride is made up of sodium
ion (cation) and chloride ion (anion).
We can identify the cations and anions in the salt by
adding certain reagents (chemicals).
Tests for Anions

Question to ponder…
Why is dilute nitric acid added before adding aqueous
silver nitrate/ lead (II) nitrate/ barium nitrate?
This is to remove any carbonate ions that may be
present in the solution which will form insoluble
salts (precipitate) with the reagents added.
Remember that most carbonates are insoluble!
Tests for Cations
Cations can be identified by adding aqueous
sodium hydroxide and aqueous ammonia.
Most cations (except H+
, Na+
, K+
and NH4
+
) give
precipitates (insoluble salts) with these
alkalis.

Tests for Cations
Al3+
and Pb2+
give the same observations with aqueous
sodium hydroxide and aqueous ammonia.
How to distinguish them?
Add aqueous potassium iodide (KI)!
If Pb2+
is present, a bright yellow precipitate of lead
(II) iodide (PbI2
) will be formed.
Al3+
will not give precipitate with potassium iodide.
Tests for Cations
Copper

Tests for Cations
Note that Al3+
and Pb2+
can be distinguished by adding
aqueous potassium iodide (KI).
If Pb2+
is present, a bright yellow precipitate of lead (II)
iodide (PbI2
) will be formed.
H+
(acid) can be identified by adding carbonate.
Carbon dioxide gas will be produced.
K+
and Na+
ions do not form any precipitate as all their
salts are soluble.

Tests for Gases
Tests for Water
There are 2 chemical tests to detect the presence of
water or water vapour:
Use anhydrous copper (II) sulfate
Water will change the colour of anhydrous copper (II)
sulfate from white to blue.
Use dry cobalt (II) chloride paper
Water will change the colour of dry cobalt (II) chloride
paper from blue to pink.
Important Concepts for QA
Important Reactions from Acids, Bases & Salts
Acid + metal → salt + hydrogen
Acid + metal oxides/ hydroxide (base) → salt + water
Acid + carbonate → salt + water + carbon dioxide
Alkali + ammonium salt → salt + water + ammonia
Decomposition by heat (1)
Some metal carbonates are decomposed by
heat to form metal oxides & carbon dioxide.
Eg: copper (II) carbonate is decomposed by heat to
form copper (II) oxide and CO2.
CuCO3 (s) CuO (s) + CO2 (g)
Decomposition by heat (2)
Most metal nitrates (except Group I) decompose to
form metal oxides, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas.
Eg: decomposition of calcium nitrate
2 Ca(NO3)2 (s) 2 CaO (s) + 4 NO2 (g) + O2 (g)
Nitrogen dioxide, NO2, is a brown gas. It can be seen as
brown fumes given off during the heating of solid metal
nitrates.
Decomposition by heat (2)
Group I metal nitrates decompose to form metal
oxides and oxygen only. No brown nitrogen dioxide
gas is given off.
Confusion…
Ammonia (NH3) is an alkaline gas that turns
moist red litmus blue.
Aqueous ammonia (NH4OH) is a weak alkali
that is used to test for cations.
Ammonium (NH4
+
) is a cation found in
ammonium salts & aqueous ammonia.
White Precipitate in Cation Test
When asked to identify white precipitate when sodium
hydroxide/aqueous ammonia is added, look out for Zn2+
,
Ca2+
, Pb2+
and Al3+
.
Zn2+
is the only cation that forms white precipitate that is
soluble in excess in both sodium hydroxide and aqueous
ammonia.
Ca2+
is the only cation that forms white precipitate that is
insoluble in excess NaOH.
Solubility of Salts
All nitrates are soluble.
Most chlorides are soluble except silver chloride and lead
(II) chloride.
Most sulfates are soluble except barium sulfate, lead (II)
sulfate and calcium sulfate.
All sodium/potassium/ammonium salts are soluble.
Most carbonates are insoluble except
sodium/potassium/ammonium carbonate.

3. qualitative analysis

  • 2. What is Qualitative Analysis? Qualitative analysis is a process used to determine and identify the chemical properties of an unknown substance. In your syllabus, the analysis will be used to identify the cations and anions present in an unknown chemical.
  • 3. What are Cations? A cation is a positively charged ion. For example, sodium ion (Na+ ) and ammonium ion (NH4 + ) are cations.
  • 4. What are Anions? An anion is a negatively charged ion. For example, chloride ion (Cl- ) and nitrate ion (NO3 - ) are anions.
  • 5. Salts are ionic compounds. All salts are ionic compounds and they contain both cations and anions. For example, sodium chloride is made up of sodium ion (cation) and chloride ion (anion). We can identify the cations and anions in the salt by adding certain reagents (chemicals).
  • 6. Tests for Anions Anion How to test? Observations if anion is present  Nitrate NO3 - Add aqueous sodium hydroxide, then add aluminium foil and warm the mixture.   A colourless and pungent gas which turns moist red litmus blue is produced. The gas is ammonia (NH3 ). Carbonate CO3 2- Add any dilute acid. Effervescence is observed. The gas given off forms white precipitate with limewater. The gas is carbon dioxide (CO2 ).
  • 7. Tests for Anions Chloride Cl- Add dilute nitric acid, then add aqueous silver nitrate. White precipitate of silver chloride (AgCl) is formed.   Iodide I- Add dilute nitric acid, then add aqueous lead (II) nitrate. Yellow precipitate of lead (II) iodide (PbI2 ) is formed.   Sulfate SO4 2- Add dilute nitric acid, then add aqueous barium nitrate or Add dilute hydrochloric acid, then add aqueous barium chloride White precipitate of barium sulfate (BaSO4 ) is formed. White precipitate of barium sulfate (BaSO4 ) is formed.
  • 8. Question to ponder… Why is dilute nitric acid added before adding aqueous silver nitrate/ lead (II) nitrate/ barium nitrate?
  • 9. Question to ponder… Why is dilute nitric acid added before adding aqueous silver nitrate/ lead (II) nitrate/ barium nitrate? This is to remove any carbonate ions that may be present in the solution which will form insoluble salts (precipitate) with the reagents added. Remember that most carbonates are insoluble!
  • 10. Tests for Cations Cations can be identified by adding aqueous sodium hydroxide and aqueous ammonia. Most cations (except H+ , Na+ , K+ and NH4 + ) give precipitates (insoluble salts) with these alkalis.
  • 11. Tests for Cations Ca2+ Cation Effect on adding aqueous sodium hydroxide, NaOH (aq) Effect on adding aqueous ammonia, NH4 OH (aq)   Calcium Ca2+ White precipitate of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 is formed. Precipitate is insoluble in excess sodium hydroxide. No precipitate formed.
  • 12. Tests for Cations Aluminium   Al3+ White precipitate of aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)3 is formed. Precipitate is soluble in excess sodium hydroxide to give a colourless solution. White precipitate of aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)3 is formed. Precipitate is insoluble in excess aqueous ammonia. Lead (II) Pb2+ White precipitate of lead (II) hydroxide, Pb(OH)2 is formed. Precipitate is soluble in excess sodium hydroxide to give a colourless solution. White precipitate of lead (II) hydroxide, Pb(OH)2 is formed. Precipitate is insoluble in excess aqueous ammonia.
  • 13. Tests for Cations Al3+ and Pb2+ give the same observations with aqueous sodium hydroxide and aqueous ammonia. How to distinguish them? Add aqueous potassium iodide (KI)! If Pb2+ is present, a bright yellow precipitate of lead (II) iodide (PbI2 ) will be formed. Al3+ will not give precipitate with potassium iodide.
  • 14. Tests for Cations Copper (II) Cu2+ Blue precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)2 is formed. Precipitate is insoluble in excess sodium hydroxide. Blue precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)2 is formed. Precipitate is soluble in excess aqueous ammonia to give a deep blue solution. Iron (II) Fe2+ Green precipitate of iron(II) hydroxide, Fe(OH)2 is formed. Precipitate is insoluble in excess sodium hydroxide. Green precipitate of iron(II) hydroxide, Fe(OH)2 is formed. Precipitate is insoluble in excess aqueous ammonia. On standing, the green Fe(OH)2 precipitate oxidises to form red-brown Fe(OH) precipitate.
  • 15. Tests for Cations Iron (III) Fe3+ Red brown precipitate of iron(III) hydroxide, Fe(OH)3 is formed. Precipitate is insoluble in excess sodium hydroxide. Red brown precipitate of iron(III) hydroxide, Fe(OH)3 is formed. Precipitate is insoluble in excess aqueous ammonia. Zinc Zn2+ White precipitate of zinc hydroxide, Zn(OH)2 is formed. Precipitate is soluble in excess sodium hydroxide to give a colourless solution. White precipitate of zinc hydroxide, Zn(OH)2 is formed. Precipitate is soluble in excess aqueous ammonia to give a colourless solution.
  • 16. Tests for Cations Ammoni um NH4 + No precipitate is formed. On heating, a gas which turns moist red litmus blue is produced. The gas is ammonia. ---
  • 17. Tests for Cations Note that Al3+ and Pb2+ can be distinguished by adding aqueous potassium iodide (KI). If Pb2+ is present, a bright yellow precipitate of lead (II) iodide (PbI2 ) will be formed. H+ (acid) can be identified by adding carbonate. Carbon dioxide gas will be produced. K+ and Na+ ions do not form any precipitate as all their salts are soluble.
  • 18. Flowchart on identifying Cations (A) Adding aqueous sodium hydroxide Ca2+ Al3+ Pb2+ Zn2+
  • 19. Flowchart on identifying Cations (B) Adding aqueous ammonia Al3+ Pb2+
  • 22. Tests for Water There are 2 chemical tests to detect the presence of water or water vapour: Use anhydrous copper (II) sulfate Water will change the colour of anhydrous copper (II) sulfate from white to blue. Use dry cobalt (II) chloride paper Water will change the colour of dry cobalt (II) chloride paper from blue to pink.
  • 23. Important Concepts for QA Important Reactions from Acids, Bases & Salts Acid + metal → salt + hydrogen Acid + metal oxides/ hydroxide (base) → salt + water Acid + carbonate → salt + water + carbon dioxide Alkali + ammonium salt → salt + water + ammonia
  • 24. Decomposition by heat (1) Some metal carbonates are decomposed by heat to form metal oxides & carbon dioxide. Eg: copper (II) carbonate is decomposed by heat to form copper (II) oxide and CO2. CuCO3 (s) CuO (s) + CO2 (g)
  • 25. Decomposition by heat (2) Most metal nitrates (except Group I) decompose to form metal oxides, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas. Eg: decomposition of calcium nitrate 2 Ca(NO3)2 (s) 2 CaO (s) + 4 NO2 (g) + O2 (g) Nitrogen dioxide, NO2, is a brown gas. It can be seen as brown fumes given off during the heating of solid metal nitrates.
  • 26. Decomposition by heat (2) Group I metal nitrates decompose to form metal oxides and oxygen only. No brown nitrogen dioxide gas is given off.
  • 27. Confusion… Ammonia (NH3) is an alkaline gas that turns moist red litmus blue. Aqueous ammonia (NH4OH) is a weak alkali that is used to test for cations. Ammonium (NH4 + ) is a cation found in ammonium salts & aqueous ammonia.
  • 28. White Precipitate in Cation Test When asked to identify white precipitate when sodium hydroxide/aqueous ammonia is added, look out for Zn2+ , Ca2+ , Pb2+ and Al3+ . Zn2+ is the only cation that forms white precipitate that is soluble in excess in both sodium hydroxide and aqueous ammonia. Ca2+ is the only cation that forms white precipitate that is insoluble in excess NaOH.
  • 29. Solubility of Salts All nitrates are soluble. Most chlorides are soluble except silver chloride and lead (II) chloride. Most sulfates are soluble except barium sulfate, lead (II) sulfate and calcium sulfate. All sodium/potassium/ammonium salts are soluble. Most carbonates are insoluble except sodium/potassium/ammonium carbonate.
