Unlike the other tests described on this page, the test for carbonate ions works whatever acid is added. Explain why, in a test for sulfate ions, the sample is acidified with hydrochloric acid first.
Determination of sodium chloride level is critical for assessment of purity of yeast extracts. This case study demonstrates the validation of an ion chromatography method as a suitable analytical ...
Cations can be identified with flame tests or precipitate tests using sodium hydroxide and ammonia solutions. Anions (halide, sulfate, and carbonate ions) can be identified using precipitate tests or ...
