    The salt was analyzed and found to have the following properties: white solid, ammoniacal smell, soluble in water. Testing showed the presence of NH4+ (ammonium ion) and Cl- (chloride ion). NH4+ was confirmed by the evolution of ammonia smell upon heating with sodium hydroxide and production of a reddish brown precipitate with Nessler's reagent. Cl- was confirmed by the production of a white precipitate with silver nitrate that was soluble in ammonium hydroxide. Other possible ions like SO42- were found to be absent. The salt was determined to contain NH4+ as the basic radical and Cl- as the acid radical.

    Aim: To analyse the given salt for acid radical and basic radical

    Physical Characteristics:
    State: Solid
    Colour: White
    Odour: Ammoniacal smell
    Solubility: Soluble in water

    Experiment Observation Inference

    1. Dry test tube heating: White sublimate is formed NH4+ may be present

    A pinch of the sample is


    heated in a dry test tube

    2. Flame Test:

    Flame test is performed with No characteristic flame is Cu2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Pb2+ absent
    conc. HCl observed

    3. Borax bead test:

    This test is not performed Cu2+, Ni2+ , Co2+ , Mn2+, Fe3+ may be
    since the given salt is white absent

    4. Dil. H2SO4 test: No characteristic observation CO32-, S2-, NO2-, SO32- may be absent

    A pinch of the sample is added


    to dil. H2SO4 in a test tube and
    then it is heated

    5. Conc. H2SO4 test: Colourless gas with pungent Cl- may be present
    smell; deep white fumes when
    A pinch of the sample is added
    a glass rod dipped in NH4OH is
    to conc. H2SO4 in a test tube
    held at the mouth of the test
    and then it is heated
    tube

    6. Confirmatory test for Cl-: A white ppt. soluble in NH 4OH Cl- is present and confirmed
    is obtained.
    An aqueous solution of the
    sample is acidified with
    dil.HNO3 in a test tube and
    AgNO3 solution is added

    7. Test for NH4+: A gas with characteristic NH4+ is present .


    ammoniacal smell is evolved.
    A pinch of the sample is
    heated with conc. NaOH A deep white fumes is formed
    solution when a glass rod dipped in dil.
    HCl is held at the mouth of the
    test tube

    8. Confirmatory Test for NH4+: Reddish Brown ppt is


    obtained.
    To an aqueous solution of the
    sample in a test tube,
    Nessler’s Reagent is added.
    NH4+ is present and confirmed

    9. Test for SO42- : No white ppt. insoluble in SO42- is absent


    conc. HCl is formed
    To an aqueous solution of the
    sample in a test tube, BaCl2
    solution is added

    Result: The given salt contains NH4+ as basic radical and Cl- as acid radicals.
