EXPERIMENT II
ANION ANALYSIS
I. OBJECTIVES OF THE EXPERIMENT
Can identify anions in 'unknown' solutions and solids using 'liquid chemistry'
separation methods which are based on the behavior of different ions when
reacted with certain reagents.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Qualitative Analysis
Qualitative analysis is a work process in detecting the presence of a
chemical element in an unknown sample. Qualitative analysis is one of the
most effective ways to study chemistry and the elements and ions present in
a solution. In the qualitative analysis method several reagents are used,
including group reagents and also specific reagents, these two reagents are
used to determine the type of anion or cation present in a solution. The class
regimens used for the most common classification of cations are
hydrochloric acid, hydrogen sulfide, ammonium sulfide, and also
ammonium carbonate. This classification itself is based on whether a cation
can react with these reagents by forming a precipitate or not forming a
precipitate. Meanwhile, the method used for anions is not as systematic as
for cations. However, the scheme used is not a rigid one, because anions
also belong to more than one group (Keenan 1992) .
2 .2 Precipitation Method
The precipitation method is the process of forming a precipitate, where the
precipitate obtained occurs from self-separation as a solid phase out of
solution. The precipitate may be crystalline (crystalline) or colloidal, and
can be removed from solution by filtration or centrifugation. A precipitate
forms if the solution becomes oversaturated with the substance in question.
The solubility(s) of a precipitate is, by definition, equal to the molar
concentration of the saturated solution. Solubility depends on various
conditions such as temperature, pressure, the concentration of other
substances in the solution and on the composition of the solvent (Svehla
1985d) .
2.3 Solubility Product
The solubility product (Ksp) value of a poorly soluble ionic compound
can provide information about the solubility of a compound in water. The
greater the Ksp value of a substance, the more soluble the compound is. The
Ksp value of a substance can be used to predict whether a substance will
precipitate if two solutions containing ions from poorly soluble compounds
are mixed. Solubility is the ability of salts to dissolve in water. The ability of
each salt to dissolve in water is not the same, there are salts that dissolve
easily in water such as sodium chloride and there are salts that are difficult
to dissolve in water such as silver chloride (AgCl) . The Ksp of a compound
can be determined from laboratory experiments by measuring solubility (the
mass of a compound that can dissolve in each liter of solution) until it is
exactly saturated. In that state, the ability of the solvent has been maximized
to dissolve or ionize the solute. Excess dissolved substance even a little will
be a precipitate. The solubility product in its actual state is the final value
attained by the product of ions when equilibrium is reached between the
solid phase of the only slightly soluble salt and the solution (Syukri 1999) .
if the silver chloride precipitate is in equilibrium with the saturated
solution, then the equilibrium is:
AgCl Ag + Cl
+ -
+ -
and Cl ions are present in the solid phase. The equilibrium constant
can be written as:
AgCl
Cl
K
-
Ag
The concentration of silver chloride in the solid phase does not change
and therefore can be entered into a new constant. Ksp is called the solubility
product:
ClAgKsp
So in a solution of silver chloride, at constant temperature and
pressure, the product of the concentrations of silver ions and chloride ions is
constant. For a saturated solution of an electrolyte Ava vb
, B which ionizes
into the ions A and B
va m- vb n-
A B
va vb
The solubility product [K] can be expressed as:
vb
n
va
m
BAKsp
So it can be stated that in a saturated solution of a slightly soluble
electrolyte, the product of the concentrations of the constituent ions for any
given temperature is constant, with the ion concentration raised to a number
equal to the number of individual ions produced by the dissociation of an
electrolyte molecule. (Svehla 1985d) .
2.4 Sludge Washing
Washing the precipitate aims to remove contamination (impurities) on
the surface of the precipitate. Washing the precipitate uses a strong
electrolyte solution containing the same ion as the precipitate so that the
solubility of the precipitate decreases. The solution must be volatile so that
the precipitate is easy to weigh. Washing solutions are divided into 3 groups,
namely:
1. Solutions that can reduce the solubility of the precipitate
2. Solutions that can prevent the hydrolysis of salts from weak bases
or weak acids
3. A solution that can prevent the formation of colloids which can
result in passing on filter paper (Svehla 1985d) .
2.5 Complex Formation Reactions
Coordination compounds/complex compounds are compounds that are
formed through a complex formation reaction and a coordination bond
occurs, namely a coordination covalent bond between the central ion/atom
and the ligand (protecting group). Also known as complex compounds
because it is difficult to understand at the beginning of its discovery. The
coordinate covalent bond that occurs is a covalent bond (there are shared
pairs of electrons) in which the shared pair of electrons comes from one of
the atoms. Coordination bonds can exist in the cation or anion of the
compound. The central ion/atom is the ion/atom part of the coordination
compound which is in the center (middle part) as the acceptor of the
electron pair so that it can be referred to as a Lewis acid, generally in the
form of metals (especially transition metals). Meanwhile, a ligand or
protective group is an atom/ion part of a coordination compound that is on
the outside as a donor of electron pairs so that it can be referred to as a
Lewis base (R. Chang 2004) .
2.6 Ion Selectivity
Is a reaction that occurs on a group of materials/ions that are different,
for example when Cl- ions are added to cations, a precipitate can occur. This
reaction is not specific, because what can precipitate with Cl- is not only
one type of cation, but three kinds, namely Ag+, Pb+, Hg+, (more, if you
pay attention to other less common cations such as Cu+.Pt4+, Tl+) ( Svehla
1985d) .
2 .7 Liquid Chemistry
Liquid chemistry is a separation method in the analysis of cations and
anions which is based on the behavior of different ions when a solution of
anions or cations is reacted with certain reagents (Svehla 1985d) .
2.8 Anion analysis
Anions are negative ions that are formed when a nonmetal atom gains
one or more electrons. Anions are so named because they are attracted to the
anode (positive field) in an electric field. Atoms usually gain electrons so
they will have an electron configuration like a noble gas. All the elements in
group 17 have seven valence electrons because of their outermost ns2np5
configuration. Therefore, each element will gain one electron and become
an anion with a -1 charge. Likewise, Group 16 elements form ions with a -2
charge, and Group 15 nonmetals form ions with a -3 charge. The anion test
was carried out after the cation test (Svehla 1985d) .
a. In general, anions can be classified based on their properties as
follows:
1. Silver group : The anions precipitated by Ag are Cl, Br, I, and CNS
2 anions. Group calcium-barium : Anion precipitated by Ca2+ and Ba2+,
at a certain pH, namely SO42-, PO42-, CrO42-, C2O42-
3 anions. Dissolved group : Anion that is not easily precipitated namely
NO3- .
4. Volatile acid groups: namely groups that produce gas during
acidification
(DY Chang 1996) .
2.8.1 chloride
Most chlorides are soluble in water, mercury chloride, silver chloride, these
are very slightly soluble in cold water, but easily soluble in hot or boiling
water. CuCl, BiOCl, SbOCL, HgOCl are insoluble in water. Sensitivity 1.5
mg Cl¯ (concentration limit 1 in 30,000) and 0.3 mg Cl¯ (concentration
limit 1 in 150,000) (Svehla 1985d) .
2.8.2 Bromide
Solubility Ag, Hg, Cu, insoluble in water. Lead bromide is very slightly
soluble in cold water, but more soluble in boiling water. All other bromides
are soluble. Sensitivity 2 mg Br (concentration limit of 1 in 25,000)
2
(Svehla 1985d) .
2.8.3 Iodide
The solubility of iodide is similar to that of chloride and bromide. Silver,
mercury(II), copper(I) and lead iodide are sparingly soluble salts. Sensitivity
2 mg I (concentration limit of 1 in 20,000) (Svehla 1985d) .
2
2.8.4 Nitrate
All nitrates are soluble in water, the nutrates of mercury and bismuth yield
basic salts when treated with water. These salts are soluble in dilute nitric
acid. Sensitivity 0.05 mg Nitrate with a concentration limit of 1 in 1 million
(Svehla 1985d) .
2.8.5 Sulfate
The sulfates of barium, strontium and lead are practically insoluble in water.
The sulfates of mercury(II) and calcium are sparingly soluble and most of
the sulfates of the remaining metals are soluble (Svehla 1985d) .
2.8.6 Chromate
Metallic chromates are usually colorless solids that give a yellow solution
when dissolved in water. Dilute mineral acids, i.e. hydrogen ions,
chromates, turn into dichromates (Svehla 1985d) .
2.8.7 Phosphates
Phosphates of ammonium and of the alkali metals, except of water-soluble
lithium; Primary phosphates of the alkaline earth metals are also soluble. All
other metal phosphates, as well as the secondary and tertiary phosphates of
the alkaline earth metals, are very sparingly soluble or insoluble in water
(Svehla 1985d) .

'liquid chemistry' method which is based on the behavior of different ions
when directed with certain reagents. The method used is liquid chemical
separation based on the behavior of different ions when reacted with

(Harjadi 1990) .
6.1 Test for Chloride Ion in Sodium Chloride
This test aims to determine the presence of Cl in NaCl solution
- anion
using the liquid chemistry method. The solution is a clear solution. Then do
test 2 by adding H SO which aims to acidify the solution. The solution
2 4
becomes cloudy and heat arises. The emergence of this heat indicates that in
the solution an exothermic reaction occurs, in which the solution releases
heat or energy from the system to the surroundings. The system releases
hydrochloric acid into the environment,
The reaction that occurs is :
Cl + H SO
- (aq) 2 4 (aq) (aq) 4
→ HCl + HSO - (aq)
(Svehla 1985c) .
Next, test 3 was carried out by adding AgNO to the solution. This
3
addition aims to precipitate Cl as AgCl. After this addition the solution
-
remains cloudy but produces a white precipitate as Cl precipitate.
Precipitation occurs because the price of Qc > Ksp, and the solution is a
saturated solution.
The reaction that occurs :
HCl + AgNO → AgCl + HNO
(aq) 3(aq) (s) 3 (aq)
(Svehla 1985c) .
Next is adding HNO which aims to dissolve AgCl in solution. After
3
the addition of HNO3 the solution did not change where the solution
, ,
remained cloudy and a precipitate formed. This shows that AgCl in solution
is stable, so it is not easy to break the bond. HNO in this case cannot
3
dissolve AgCl because of the low concentration of HNO . So, in this test
3 .
the addition of HNO aims to strengthen the identification that the presence
3
of Br forms AgBr precipitates that are insoluble with dilute HNO .
- ions 3
The reaction
HNO + AgCl →AgCl + NO + H O
3 ( aq) (aq) (s) 3 (aq)
- 2 (l)
(Svehla 1985c) .
Then the solution was tested with test 4, namely by using Ba(C H O
2 3 2
) and HCl. In this case the solution turns cloudy white. This is due to the
2
stability of AgCl in solution, so it is quite difficult to break the bond. In this
case it can be seen that in the final test the solution is cloudy white, which
indicates a positive result, this is because the color of the cloudy white
solution is close to the formation of a white precipitate. The possibility that
what is happening is the lack of Cl ions contained in the solution or the
-
solution has not been saturated and the product of the ions has not exceeded
the Ksp value so that a white precipitate has not formed.
6.2 Bromide Ion Test in Potassium Bromide
This experiment aims to identify bromide ions in KBr using liquid
chemistry methods based on the differences in ion behavior when reacted
with certain reagents. In the first test, pay attention to the appearance of the
solution and the result is a yellow solution. The second test, the addition of
H SO , the result is a clear solution and generates heat due to an
2 4
exothermic reaction. The addition of H SO aims to test the anion. When
2 4
concentrated sulfuric acid is poured over solid potassium bromide, a
reddish-brown solution is first formed, then reddish-brown bromine vapor
accompanies the released hydrogen bromide.
The reaction:
KBr + H SO HBr + HSO + K
2 4 4 - +
2KBr + 2H2SO4 2 4 2
_ Brother 2 + SO + SO 2- + 2K + +2H O
(Svehl, 1985) .
Then the 3rd Test, the addition of AgNO and HNO . The
3 3 was carried out
addition of AgNO aims to precipitate some silver anions which may
3
precipitate in the form of salts with Ag and HNO for a definitive test,
+ 3 cations
namely to strengthen the presence of silver ions in the sample in the
presence of HNO . The positive test when Br
3 precipitate - ions in the sample
solution was added with AgNO and HNO was a cloudy white solution and
3 3
there was a yellowish white precipitate. AgNO and HNO will precipitate
3 3
Br as AgBr. However, in this experiment the result was a clear solution and
-
no precipitate, which means that the KBr solution does not contain silver
anions.
The reaction:
KBr + KNO3 AgBr
AgNO3 +
Yellowish white precipitate
(Svehl, 1985) .
This precipitate can be formed because the product of the
concentrations of the ions involved is higher than the product of the
solubility of the solution, or it can be written Qc > Ksp. The Ksp of AgBr is
equal to 4 x 10 -13 (Svehl, 1985) .
The solution is said to be saturated when a precipitate forms. According to
the literature, when Br in KBr is reacted with AgNO3, produces a cloudy
it
solution and a white precipitate of AgBr is formed. After that, HNO3 was
added dissolve the AgBr precipitate. The result is that the solution obtained
to
is clearer than before but the precipitate is not soluble. This is because the
AgBr compound is stable and has a high density making it difficult to
dissolve with the addition of dilute . AgBr has a very small Ksp (4x10
HNO3 -13
) so it is insoluble with the addition of HNO3 has a low concentration.
which
So, in this test the addition of HNO aims to strengthen the identification
3
that the presence of Br forms AgBr precipitates that are insoluble with
- ions
dilute HNO . AgBr can dissolve in dilute ammonia which shows that the
3
sample contains Br . The test results were not in accordance with the
- ions
literature because the reagent that was dropped was contaminated so that no
precipitate formed.
The reaction:
AgBr + + H O + NO ( White precipitate )
(s) HNO3 AgBr 2 3 -
(Svehl, 1985) .
Then in the 4th test, Ba(C H
2 3 O 2 ) , the result was that both
2 was added
solutions remained clear, which means that the bromide ion in KBr does not
belong to the calcium barium group. The addition of Ba(C H O )
2 3 2 2 aims
to precipitate the calcium barium group anion. While the addition of HCl for
the definitive test of calcium barium group anion .
The reaction:
KBr + Ba(C H O ) → K(C H O ) + BaBr2 2 3 2 2 2 2 3 2
2
(Svehl, 1985) .
So the final result of this experiment is a negative result, which indicates
that Ba ions are not identified in solution.
6.3 Test for Iodine ion in Potassium iodide
This experiment aims to identify the presence of iodide anions in
known samples using liquid chemistry methods based on the differences in
ion behavior when reacted with certain reagents. This experiment was
carried out to identify the presence of I- ions in the sample solution using
several tests. The color of the sample solution is clear and after adding
sulfuric acid (H SO ) the resulting solution remains clear, a milky yellow
2 4
precipitate forms but the sample solution in the tube feels hot. This happens
because of an exothermic reaction where there is heat transfer from the
system, namely the sample solution to the environment, namely the test
tube. The formation of a milky yellow precipitate indicates that the sample
solution does not contain I- ions. Because according to the literature, if it
contains I- ions it will form a white precipitate. Then the third test was
added AgNO and HNO to become cloudy white. The function of adding
3 3
AgNO and HNO is to precipitate I as AgI, the reaction is:
3 3 -
(Svehla 1985c) .
In the third test, it showed that the sample solution contained I- ions
because even though no precipitate formed, the result was a cloudy white
solution, almost precipitating. This could be due to the addition of too little
reagent so that it does not precipitate completely. Then the fourth test is by
adding Ba(C2H3O2)2 and HCl. The result is a clear solution. This fourth
test shows a negative result because there is no change, which is likely to
contain very few iodide ions and the product of the ions has not exceeded
the Ksp so that the solution is not saturated and the final result is negative .
6.4 Test for Sulfite Ions in Sulfitic Acid
The aim of this test is to identify the presence of sulfite anions in
known samples by the liquid chemistry method based on the differences in
the behavior of the ions when reacted with certain reagents. At first the Na 2
SO was clear. Identification of SO ions in the sample solution
3 sample solution 3 2-
by adding H SO concentrated, the solution turns cloudy and hot due to the
2 4
exothermic reaction that occurs in the solution. Then, AgNO to the
3 was added
solution and HNO , the sample solution turned clear with a white
3
precipitate . This is not in accordance with the literature, because AgNO 3
and used to precipitate silver group cations (Svehla 1985b) . In the
HNO3
sample Na SO There are no silver group cations so no precipitate should
2 3
be produced. The next test is the addition of Ba(C H O ) and HCl in the
2 3 2 2
sample. The result is a cloudy white solution . The addition of HCl serves as
a catalyst that can accelerate the reaction, but can be reformed after the
reaction occurs. According to the literature, sample solutions containing
sulfite ions will produce a precipitate when tested by adding Ba(C H O )
2 3 2
2 , according to the following reaction:
Ba + SO BaSO
2+ 3 2- 3
(Svehla 1985b) .
3 precipitate can be formed because the product of the concentrations of Ba
2+ 2-
and SO 3 ions is greater than Ksp BaSO 3 . Price of Ksp BaSO 3 alone is
8×10 (Svehla 1985b) . I on SO should become supersaturated with the
-7 3 2-
addition of Ba(C H O ) and HCl s so that a white precipitate forms after
2 3 2 2
the addition of the two solutions. However, the results obtained in the
experiment were that the solution was only cloudy white. This indicates that
the solution is not saturated, so that precipitate does not arise. However,
with the appearance of a white precipitate, it shows results that almost form
a white precipitate, so it can be said that the result is positive. Ba 2+ ion
addition _ will precipitate calcium-barium anion groups, so the positive test
for SO 3 2 - ions is the formation of BaSO 3 precipitate (Svehla 1985b) .
6.5 Sulfate Ion Test in Sodium Sulfate
The aim of this experiment is to identify the presence of
sulfate anions in known samples using the liquid chemistry method based on
the differences in the behavior of the ions when reacted with certain
reagents . This experiment begins with the appearance of a
clear colored solution. Then do the addition of concentrated
H2SO4 . From this addition, the temperature of the solution
rises so that it is hot and the solution remains clear . The
addition of H SO aims to acidify the solution. After that,
2 4
AgNO and HNO were added . The function of adding AgNO
3 3
3 3
and HNO was to precipitate silver group anions and ensure
the presence of silver group anions in solution. The results
showed no change because there was no silver group anion,
the solution remained clear . However, on the addition of
AgNO a white precipitate was formed while on the addition
3
of HNO no precipitate occurs . Then add Ba(C H O )
3 2 3 2 2 and
HCl. Addition function Ba(C H O ) is to precipitate sulfate
2 3 2 2
and barium. On addition of Ba(C H O ) the solution
2 3 2 2 ,
becomes cloudy . While the function of adding HCl is for a
definitive test and to strengthen the identification that there is SO in the
4 2- ion
sample. The result is that the solution also remains cloudy but
there is a white precipitate which indicates a positive result
identified by sulfate ions.
The reaction that occurs:
Ba + SO BaSO (white precipitate)
2+ 4 2- 4
(Svehla 1985c) .
Based on the literature, after adding Ba(C H O ) be a white
2 3 2 2, there should
precipitate because the BaSO precipitate is formed because the product of
4
the concentrations of Ba and SO ions is greater than the Ksp of BaSO .
2+ 4 2- 4
The Ksp of BaSO is 1.1 x 10
4 -11 (Svehla 1985c) . The BaSO 4 solution is
supersaturated with the addition of Ba(C H O ) so that a precipitate
2 3 2 2
forms. The conclusion is that sulfate ions in Na SO
2 4 can produce precipitate when Ba(C
2 3 2 2
H O ) and HCl are added which shows a positive result because sulfate
ion (SO ) belongs to the calcium-barium group.
4 2-
6.6 Test for Phosphorus Ion in Phosphoric Acid
The purpose of this experiment is to identify phosphate ions in a solution of
H PO In this experiment, the first thing to do is to add a sample of a clear
3 4.
H PO SO ) which is obtained the solution
3 4 solution in a test tube and add sulfuric acid (H 2 4
remains clear, but the sample solution in the tube feels hot. This happens
because of an exothermic reaction where there is heat transfer from the
system, namely the sample solution to the environment, namely the test
tube. The next step was the addition of AgNO and HNO
3 3 to the sample
solution, and a clear solution was obtained but there was a yellow
precipitate. This does not indicate the presence of silver group ions in the
sample, because according to the literature, if silver group ions are
identified, a white precipitate will form. Then the sample solution was
added Ba(C H O ) and HCl, the result obtained was that the solution
2 3 2 2
turned cloudy and there was a white precipitate which showed a positive
result identifying sulfate ions.
The reaction that occurs:
3Ba + 2PO Ba (PO )
2+ 4 2- 3 4 2 (precipitate)
(Svehl, 1985) .
The precipitate Ba (PO )
3 4 2 is formed because the product of the concentrations of Ba 2+ and
PO ions is greater than Ksp Ba (PO ) where Ksp Ba (PO ) is 3.4 x
4 2- 3 4 , 3 4 2
10 (Svehla , 1985) .
-23
This is because the BaPO is supersaturated with the addition
4 solution
of Ba(C H O ) so that a precipitate forms. In conclusion, phosphate ions
2 3 2 2
in NaH PO Ba(C H O ) and HCl are added because
2 4 can produce precipitate when 2 3 2 2
phosphate ion (PO ) belongs to the calcium-barium group with a positive
4 3-
result, namely a white precipitate forms.
6 .7 Nitrate Ion Test in Lead(II) Nitrate
In this experiment, tests were carried out for nitrate ion in Pb(NO )
3 2
which aimed to identify the presence of nitrate anion in Pb( NO )
3 2 solution. This
experiment was carried out by placing 5 drops of 3 2
Pb( NO ) solution into a test tube. . After
observing the results obtained a yellow solution. Then added H2SO4 which
aims as a catalyst to accelerate the reaction. The result obtained is that the
solution remains yellow and hot due to an endothermic reaction that
produces heat. The reaction that will occur is as follows:
4NO + 2H SO ---- 4NO + O + 2SO
3 - 2 4 2 2 4 2- + 2H 2 O
(Svehla 1985d) .
After that, the next experiment was carried out by adding a nitrate
solution with 5 drops of into the test tube. The result obtained is a
AgNO3
yellow solution . Then the solution was added again with 5 drops of HNO3
and the result obtained was that the solution became clear. The addition of
HNO aims to identify the presence of anions in the sample . No precipitate
3
formed indicates a positive result.
Then an experiment was carried out by adding a solution of nitrate with
5 drops of Ba(C H O )
2 3 2 2 and the result obtained was that the solution
became cloudy. Then the solution was added again with 5 drops of HCl and
the result obtained was that the solution remained cloudy. In the literature it
is known that nitrate ions are dissolved ions which in this experiment should
not have formed a precipitate, so it can be seen that a positive result
indicates the presence of nitrate ions in solution.
6.8 Chromate Ion Test in Potassium Chromate
This experiment was carried out with the aim of identifying the
presence of CrO 4 2- in K CrO The work step is to put the K
ions 2 4 solution . 2
CrO in a test tube, the solution before being given the addition of a
4 solution
clear yellow reagent, after that the addition of H SO the result
2 4 is done,
obtained is that the solution changes color to orange and warm, this
indicates an exothermic reaction. occurs in solution . Then the addition of
AgNO3 was carried out precipitate the silver group anions, the results
to
obtained by the solution turned brick red, the reaction:
CrO + Ag Ag CrO
4 2- 2+ 2 4
(Svehla 1985a) .
This precipitate was formed because the Ag CrO
2 4 solution was
supersaturated with the addition of AgNO . In addition, because the
3
product of the concentrations of the ions is greater than Ksp Ag CrO
2 4
(Ksp Ag CrO = 2.4 x 10 ) (Svehla 1985c) . However, the results
2 4 -12
obtained do not contain precipitate, so the solution is said to be
unsaturated .
then added HNO3 clear yellow solution . the function of
to get a
adding HNO to ensure that the anions present in the sample and
3
precipitate are insoluble . Furthermore, Ba(C 2 H O ) was added to
3 2 2
precipitate the chromate from barium. The result obtained is that the
solution becomes brick red in color . Reaction :
CrO + Ba → BaCrO
4 2- 2+ 4
(Svehla 1985b) .
In the literature a positive result will form a precipitate. The
precipitate is formed because the solution is too saturated with the
substance in question and the product of the concentrations of the ions
has been exceeded, the price times the solubility or can be written
Qc>Ksp. After that, HCl was added for the definitive test and to confirm
the identification that there is a CrO in the sample. In addition, HCl
4 2- ion
aims to dissolve the precipitate. The result obtained is the solution turns
brick red . Reaction:
BaCrO + 2HCl → BaCl ↓ + H Cr O
4 2 2 2 4
(Svehla 1985d) .
The precipitate that is formed becomes soluble, this indicates a
reaction to HCl, because [BaCl] < [BaCrO ]. Therefore the sample
4
proved to be chromate ion of the potassium barium anion group which
showed a positive result .
6.9 Unknown solution test
An unknown solution is a solution whose anion content is unknown in
the solution, so we need to identify the solution from the results obtained
when testing it with several reagents, then identify and conclude the anion
content and adjust it to the literature.
In the 1st test, the appearance of the unknown solution is in the form of
a clear solution and when it is dripped with concentrated sulfuric acid there is
an increase in temperature, which means that the reaction that is taking place
is an exothermic reaction, because heat leaves the system to the surroundings.
The results of test-1 and test-2 are too general because most of the anions
give the same results. So it cannot be concluded that there are anions
contained. During the 3rd test with AgNO the results obtained are still
3 added
the same, it can be concluded that the anion is not from the silver group, then
when HNO however, the results show the same thing. However, when
3 is added
added with Barium oxalate, the solution became cloudy, and when HCl was
added the results showed a white precipitate and the solution became cloudy.
It can be concluded that the anions present in Unknwon's solution are anions
from the calcium-barium group, the anions in this group include SO , PO
4 3- 4
3- 2-
, CrO 4 , C 2 O 4 2- . Which is in accordance with the literature, namely the
calcium barium group anion will be precipitated by Ca or Ba
2+ 2+ (Svehla 1985a) .
