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.

TestPossible ObservationInference
(a) Put all of C into a beaker and add about 5 cm3\text{cm}^3 of dil. HNO3\text{HNO}_3. 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.CO32−\text{CO}_3^{2-} (carbonate) is present in the inorganic salt.
No effervescence.CO32−\text{CO}_3^{2-} (carbonate) is absent.
A blue solution is formed, and a white residue remains.A Cu2+\text{Cu}^{2+} salt is soluble in dilute HNO3\text{HNO}_3; 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 HNO3\text{HNO}_3; an insoluble organic compound or inorganic salt is present.
(b) (i) To the first portion of the filtrate, add NaOH(aq)\text{NaOH(aq)} in drops, then in excess.White precipitate, insoluble in excess NaOH\text{NaOH}.Mg2+\text{Mg}^{2+} or Ca2+\text{Ca}^{2+} is present.
White precipitate, soluble in excess NaOH\text{NaOH}.Al3+\text{Al}^{3+}, Zn2+\text{Zn}^{2+}, or Pb2+\text{Pb}^{2+} is present.
Blue precipitate, insoluble in excess NaOH\text{NaOH}.Cu2+\text{Cu}^{2+} is present.
Green precipitate, insoluble in excess NaOH\text{NaOH}.Fe2+\text{Fe}^{2+} is present.
Reddish-brown precipitate, insoluble in excess NaOH\text{NaOH}.Fe3+\text{Fe}^{3+} is present.
(b) (ii) To the second portion of the filtrate, add NH3(aq)\text{NH}_{3}\text{(aq)} in drops, then in excess.White precipitate, insoluble in excess NH3\text{NH}_3.Al3+\text{Al}^{3+} or Mg2+\text{Mg}^{2+} is present.
White precipitate, soluble in excess NH3\text{NH}_3.Zn2+\text{Zn}^{2+} is present.
Blue precipitate, soluble in excess NH3\text{NH}_3 to form a deep blue solution.Cu2+\text{Cu}^{2+} is present.
Green precipitate, insoluble in excess NH3\text{NH}_3.Fe2+\text{Fe}^{2+} is present.
Reddish-brown precipitate, insoluble in excess NH3\text{NH}_3.Fe3+\text{Fe}^{3+} is present.
(c) To the residue, add about 2 cm3\text{cm}^3 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.
