    Group 0 produces a pungent smelling gas when reacted with sodium hydroxide and white fumes are given off when hydrochloric acid is brought near. Group 1 produces a brown/yellow precipitate when reacted with sodium hydroxide and Nessler's reagent. The acetate compound produces a pungent vinegar-like smell and gives off a fruity smelling ester when reacted with ethanol and sulfuric acid. Ferric chloride produces a brick red color with the compound that disappears upon addition of hydrochloric acid and produces a reddish brown precipitate when boiled with water.

    Group 0 NH4+ (ammonium): No group reagent

    1. Sodium hydroxide test: Salt +NaOH = pungent smelling


    gas; gives white fumes when a glass rod dipped in conc
    HCl is brought near mouth of test tube.
    2. Nessler's reagent test: OS +NaOH + Nessler's reagent
    =Brown / yellow ppt
    Acetate: Pungent vapour with vinegar-like smell
    1. Ester test: Salt + conc H2SO4+ ethanol = fruity smell
    of ester
    2. Ferric chloride test: WE +FeCl3 (aq) = brick red
    colour
    1. Add dil HCl = red colour disappears
    2. Add water and boil =reddish brown ppt
