Methods:

C.1 Test for Chlorides

First is, add 3mL of urine into a test tube, then place a blue litmus paper. After doing that
acidify the urine by adding 2N nitric acid drop wise then, add 4-5 drops of silver nitrate
solution. Note and observe any reaction.

C.2 Test for Sulfates

In a test tube, put 3mL of urine, then place a blue litmus paper. After doing that, acidify the
urine by adding 5N hydrochloric acid drop wise then, add 15% of Barium Chloride solution
drop by drop. Note and observe any reaction.

Data and Results:

Analyte Result Interpretation
Chlorides Curdy white precipitate Presence of
chloride
Sulfates White precipitate Presence of
sulfates

Discussion:

C.1

Principle: Chloride is precipitated as Silver Chloride with Silver Nitrate in presence oh Nitric
Acid.
