TEST FOR COMMON IONS IN WATER

DATA AND RESULTS

Test Sample Treatment Result/s Discussion

Fe(NO3)3
+ KSCN
(standard)

Iron (III) Tap Water + KSCN

Test Distilled
+ KSCN
Water
a white insoluble solid Its because of the
will precipitate out of sodium (Ca) when
CaCl2
+ Na2C2O4 solution. heated, can form a
Calcium (standard)
mineral desposit.
Ion Test
Tap Water The sodium oxalate will Its because the tap
dissolved. water contains many
+ Na2C2O4 chemicals that can
make sodium oxalate
disappear.

This will result to a It's because distilled

formation of an insoluble water contains
precipitate. chemicals like
calcium, sodium, and
manganese, and when
Distilled + Na2C2O4
Water heated, they form
mineral deposits that
aren't harmful but can
be difficult to
remove.

BaCl2 + AgNO3 A white solid Two new salt

(standard) precipitation is formed. compound are formed
because swapping of
Chloride ionic bonds during
Ion Test product formation
occurs.

Forms curdy white It is because tap

precipitate of silver water always contains
Tap Water + AgNO3 chloride some amount of
dissolved sodium
chloride.

It dissolves in distilled It will only dissolve

water because unlik tap
Distilled water it does not
+ AgNO3
Water contain any sodium
chloride.

White precipitate of It is because the

BaSO4 sulfate ion is the
Sulfate FeSO4 conjugate base of a
Ion Test + BaCl2
(standard) strong acid [sulfuric
acid]

Tap Water + BaCl2 Dissolves or dissociates The ionic bond

into its ions between barium ion
and chloride ion will
break and will be
surrounded with
water.

BaCl will dissolved in BaCl2 would be

distilled water because it soluble because it
is free from ions which contains an ionic
may allow it to dissolve bond. This is due to
completely. the large difference in
Distilled electronegativity
+ BaCl2
Water between the two
atoms.Ionic solutions
such as water
dissolve ionic
solvents such as salt
CONCLUSION:
