1. The future of any nation depends on the health, prosperity
and progress of the forthcoming generation. In the present
era of industrialization and development, one concern
should be the health of the future generation. Children are
the most vulnerable age group to any kind of
contamination in the food chain. Chocolates and
candies/toffees are the favorite food items of children and
are often presented to them as token of love and affection
from their parents and relatives.
CHEMICALS REQUIRED
1. Dilute Hydrochloric acid {HCl}
2. Ammonium hydroxide {NH4OH}
3. Ammonium chloride {NH4Cl}
4. Dimethyl glyoxime
5. Hydrogen sulphide {H2S}
APPARATUS
1. Test tube
2. Stand
3. Test tube holder
4. Dropper
5. Spatula
6. Watch glass
Procedure
3. Add NH4Cl and NH4OH in the solution and pass H2S gas
to it. Black ppt. is obtained which shows the presence of
Nickel in it.

CONCLUSION
NICKEL is present in the given chocolate.
REACTION
Nickel is confirmed by formation of bright red ppt. with DMG
NiS + 4H+ + Cl- + NO3+ → Ni2+ + S +NOCl + 2H2O
Ni2+ + 2C4H8N2O2 (aq) → Ni (C4H7N2) O2 (S) +2H+
RESULT
S.NO SAMPLE PRESENCE OF
NICKEL
1. Dairy Milk shots Present
2. Dairy Milk Present
3. Kit Kat Present
4. Bar one Present
5. 5 Star Present
BAR ONE > KIT KAT > 5STAR > DAIRY MILK > DAIRY

CONCLUSION
The chocolate contains nickel in varying amounts though it’s not
shown by the taste
