To determine the presence of anion and cation in the given salt
| Experiment | Observation | Inference |
|---|---|---|
| Confirmatory Test | ||
| Brown Ring Test Salt Solution + FeSO₄ + Conc H₂SO₄ (added carefully along the sides of the test tube) | Brown ring forms at the junction of two liquids | Presence of NO₃⁻ 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 NO₃⁻ ions as anion. The salt is Fe³⁺NO₃⁻.
