To determine the presence of anion and cation in the given salt
Experiment | Observation | Inference |
---|---|---|
Salt + Conc H₂SO₄ | Colorless gas evolves that etches glass | F⁻ may be present |
Confirmatory Test | ||
Calcium Chloride Test Salt Solution + CaCl₂ solution | White gelatinous ppt forms | Presence of F⁻ anion is confirmed |
Experiment | Observation | Inference |
---|---|---|
Salt solution + NaOH solution | Blue precipitate | Cu²⁺ may be present |
Confirmatory Test | ||
Potassium Ferrocyanide Test Salt solution + K₄[Fe(CN)₆] solution | Chocolate brown precipitate | Presence of Cu²⁺ is confirmed |
The given salt contains Cu²⁺ ions as cation and F⁻ ions as anion. The salt is Cu²⁺F⁻.
