Here is a table of possible observations and their corresponding inferences for the qualitative analysis of mixture C, as you would record them during the experiment.
| Test | Possible Observation | Inference |
|---|---|---|
| (a) Put all of C into a beaker and add about 5 of dil. . Stir the mixture and filter. Keep the residue and divide the filtrate into two portions. | Effervescence occurs; a colorless, odorless gas is evolved which turns limewater milky. | (carbonate) is present in the inorganic salt. |
| No effervescence. | (carbonate) is absent. | |
| A blue solution is formed, and a white residue remains. | A salt is soluble in dilute ; an insoluble organic compound or inorganic salt is present. | |
| A colorless solution is formed, and a white residue remains. | A colorless cation salt is soluble in dilute ; an insoluble organic compound or inorganic salt is present. | |
| (b) (i) To the first portion of the filtrate, add in drops, then in excess. | White precipitate, insoluble in excess . | or is present. |
| White precipitate, soluble in excess . | , , or is present. | |
| Blue precipitate, insoluble in excess . | is present. | |
| Green precipitate, insoluble in excess . | is present. | |
| Reddish-brown precipitate, insoluble in excess . | is present. | |
| (b) (ii) To the second portion of the filtrate, add in drops, then in excess. | White precipitate, insoluble in excess . | or is present. |
| White precipitate, soluble in excess . | is present. | |
| Blue precipitate, soluble in excess to form a deep blue solution. | is present. | |
| Green precipitate, insoluble in excess . | is present. | |
| Reddish-brown precipitate, insoluble in excess . | is present. | |
| (c) To the residue, add about 2 of distilled water. Boil the mixture and add few drops of iodine solution. | Solution turns blue-black. | Starch is present in the residue (as the organic compound). |
| Solution remains yellow/brown (color of iodine). | Starch is absent in the residue. |
