    The document describes an experiment to qualitatively analyze a sample of bronze. Key steps include: 1) Dissolving a bronze sample in nitric acid to form copper and tin ions in solution. 2) Passing hydrogen sulfide gas through the solution to form black copper sulfide and tin sulfide precipitates. 3) Separating the tin sulfide by dissolving it in ammonium sulfide, leaving behind undissolved copper sulfide.

    Experiment - 2 Aim : To analyze a sample of bronze qualitatively.

    Requirements : China dish, test-tube funnel, filter paper and commonlaboratory reagents. Theory : Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin with the following. Composition : Cu = 88-96% and Sn. = 4-12%. Thus copper and zinc. form the main constituents of bronze. Both these metals dissolved in nitric acid. 3 Cu + 8H+ + 2NO3 3 Cu2+ + 2NO + 4H2O4Sn + NO3 + 10 H 4 Sn+2 + NH4+ + 3H2O(Cold and Dil. Acid)Sn + 4NO3 + 4H H2Sn O3 + 2NO2 + H2O(Conc. acid) (Metastannic Acid)Excess of nitric acid is removed by heating the solution. The resulting solution now would contain Cu+2 ions and metastannic acid. Thissolution is acidified with dil. HCl and H2S gas is passed when thesulphides of copper and tin are formed.Cu+2 + S2- CuS (Black ppt.)H2SnO3 + 2H2S SnS2 (Black ppt.) + 3H2O The sulphides are separated by boiling the ppt. with yellow ammoniumsulphide when SnS2 goes into solution as thiostannate where as CuS isnot affected.SnS2 + (NH4)2S (NH4)2 SnS2 (Soluble) Ammonium thiostannate.CuS + (NH4)2S CuS (Unaffected) Black ppt. The soluble black ppt. is tested for Cu+2 ions and the solution is tested for Sn2+ ions as in elementary qualitative analysis. Procedure : 1. Take about 1g. of small pieces of bronze in a china dish and add to it 5-10 ml. of dil. HNO3. 2 . Heat the contents slowly to dissolve copper and tin completelyand then boil the contents to a paste to remove excess of HNO3. All this is carried out in cup board. 3. Dissolve this dry mass in distilled water containing HCl (1:1) to get aclear solution
