To determine the presence of anion and cation in the given salt
Experiment | Observation | Inference |
---|---|---|
Salt + Conc H₂SO₄ | Violet vapors evolve | I⁻ may be present |
Confirmatory Test | ||
Silver Nitrate Test Salt Solution + Dilute HNO₃ + AgNO₃ solution | Yellow ppt insoluble in NH₄OH | Presence of I⁻ anion is confirmed |
Experiment | Observation | Inference |
---|---|---|
Salt solution + NaOH solution | Reddish-brown precipitate | Fe³⁺ may be present |
Confirmatory Test | ||
Potassium Ferrocyanide Test Salt solution + K₄[Fe(CN)₆] solution | Dark blue precipitate (Prussian blue) | Presence of Fe³⁺ is confirmed |
The given salt contains Fe³⁺ ions as cation and I⁻ ions as anion. The salt is Fe³⁺I⁻.
