Download it, or open it in MolDraw to change it first. Qualitative inorganic analysis of a simple salt, practical-book style: preliminary and dry tests, anion tests (CO₃²⁻, S²⁻, SO₃²⁻, NO₂⁻, Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻, NO₃⁻, SO₄²⁻, PO₄³⁻) and the cation group separation flowchart (groups 0–VI) with observation and inference columns. ## What the template shows - Salt analysis: record sheet - Systematic qualitative analysis of a simple salt: one anion and one cation - Grey text gives the positive result for each test (reference only): record what you actually see in “Your observation”. - Preliminary and dry tests - Positive result (reference) - Your observation - Colour of the salt - white: Cu²⁺, Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Mn²⁺ probably absent; blue/green: Cu²⁺ or Ni²⁺ - Smell (rub a pinch with a drop of water) - ammoniacal: NH₄⁺; vinegar: CH₃COO⁻ - Solubility in water - soluble / sparingly soluble - Heat a little salt in a dry test tube - colourless odourless gas turning lime water milky: CO₃²⁻; brown gas: NO₃⁻ (heavy metal nitrate); crackling: Pb(NO₃)₂ - Flame test (paste with conc. HCl on a platinum / nichrome wire) - brick red: Ca²⁺; crimson: Sr²⁺; apple green: Ba²⁺; green-blue: Cu²⁺ - Borax bead test (coloured salts only) - blue bead: Co²⁺; brown (cold): Ni²⁺; blue-green: Cu²⁺ - Tests for anions (acid radicals) - Dilute H₂SO₄ test - Salt + dil. H₂SO₄ - brisk effervescence; colourless odourless gas turns lime water milky - rotten-egg smell; gas turns lead acetate paper black - smell of burning sulfur; gas turns acidified K₂Cr₂O₇ paper green Drawn with 104 shapes – every one editable in MolDraw. ## Sources - [NCERT, Laboratory Manual Chemistry, Class XII](https://ncert.nic.in/) Textbook - [Vogel's Qualitative Inorganic Analysis, 7th ed., Longman 1996](https://openlibrary.org/isbn/9780582218666) Textbook ## How to use this template 1.
