How to Analyse the Ions in a Mixture of Copper II tetraoxosulphate VI and Ammonium trioxocarbonate IV

        Copper sulphate(copper II tetraoxosulphate VI) is one of the soluble compounds of copper, it is a blue crystal solid with five molecules of water of crystallization. It can lose its water of crystallization on strong heating to form anhydrous salt which is white in colour. For more detailed information on the analysis of copper sulphate, click Here.       Ammonium carbonate (ammonium trioxocarbonate IV) is a white crystal solid and it is very soluble in water, Click here for more information.   A mixture of ammonium Carbonate and copper sulphate will undergo double decomposition to give ammonium sulphate and copper carbonate. Double decomposition is a type of reaction in which two soluble compounds react by the exchange of radicals to form one soluble compound and one insoluble compound. CuSO 4 + (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 ------- CuCO 3 + (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 Copper carbonate is a green powder and insoluble while ammonium sulphate is a whit...

The qualitative Analysis of Copper (II) chloride

   Copper (II) chloride is one of the compounds of copper which can dissolve in water. It is a good electrolyte and it is green in colour. The ions to be analyzed in this compound are copper ions and chloride ions. The methods of identifying copper ions have been discussed in our previous analysis that is in Qualitative analysis of unknown salt(copper (II) tetraoxosulphate VI) . In this topic, we will explain how to identify chloride gas and chloride ions. Chlorine is a member of group seven elements in the Periodic Table and has seven valence electrons. How to Test for Chloride ion and Chlorine gas To an unknown solution of the salt sample, add manganese (VI)oxide and concentrated tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid, if the gas evolved has greenish-yellow colour, with a pungent smell, it means that chlorine gas is likely to be the possible gas. To identify the gas carry out the following tests: ·        To the unknown gas given off from the unk...
