Identification of anions

1. Aim :- To identify the CO32- anion in the given salt


sample
2. Apparatus required :- sample Zinc Carbonate ,
Dil.HCl , Test tube , spatula, Test tube holder , blue
litmus paper, Lime water solution .

3. Physical properties
Colour and Texture :-White and Crystalline
4. Test for anion
Experiment observation Inference
1.To a pinch of salt A colourless gas with CO2 gas is
sample add dil. HCl brick effervence is suspected. And anion
evolved may be CO3 2-

2. Test the gas with Turns red Gas is acidic


moist blue litmus
3. Test the gas Lime water turns CO32- is confirmed
evolved by passing milky
into lime water
solution

5. Equation :-

ZnCO3 + dil. HCl ZnCl2 + H2O + CO2


Ca(OH)2 + CO2 CaCO3 + H2O
