Here are the observations and conclusions for the exercises on mixture C:

a)

  • Observation: Solid C dissolves in distilled water to form a colorless solution. Blue litmus paper turns red, and red litmus paper remains red.
  • Conclusion: The solution is acidic.

b)

i)

  • Observation: To the first portion, adding NaOH(aq)\text{NaOH}_{\text{(aq)}} dropwise produces a white precipitate. The precipitate dissolves when excess NaOH(aq)\text{NaOH}_{\text{(aq)}} is added, forming a colorless solution.
  • Conclusion: Zn2+\text{Zn}^{2+}, Al3+\text{Al}^{3+}, or Pb2+\text{Pb}^{2+} ions are present.

ii)

  • Observation: To the second portion, adding NH3(aq)\text{NH}_{3\text{(aq)}} dropwise produces a white precipitate. The precipitate dissolves when excess NH3(aq)\text{NH}_{3\text{(aq)}} is added, forming a colorless solution.
  • Conclusion: Zn2+\text{Zn}^{2+} ions are present.

iii)

  • Observation: To the third portion, adding BaCl2(aq)\text{BaCl}_{2\text{(aq)}} produces a white precipitate. The precipitate remains insoluble when dilute HCl\text{HCl} is added.
  • Conclusion: SO42−\text{SO}_4^{2-} (sulfate) ions are present.

iv)

  • Observation: To the fourth portion, adding Fehling's solution A and B and boiling, a brick-red precipitate forms.
  • Conclusion: A reducing sugar is present.
