    The document describes a procedure to separate and identify metal ions in solution. It involves: 1) Adding H2S to precipitate the metal ions as sulfides and separate them based on color. 2) Using various reagents like KOH, HCl, HNO3, and NH3 to dissolve certain sulfides and leave others as a residue, allowing separation. 3) Identifying the metal ions based on the color of precipitates and complexes formed at different steps.
