Tests zur Anionenidentifikation

Nachweis häufiger Anionen durch selektive chemische Reaktionen

Qualitative Analysis Intermediate (High School) 60 Min. ~$10,00

Ziel

Unbekannte Anionen mithilfe spezifischer Fällungs-, Säurezersetzungs- und Redoxtests identifizieren.

Hintergrund

Anion analysis complements cation identification in classical qualitative analysis. Unlike cations, anions do not follow a single systematic separation scheme. Instead, they are identified through a series of specific tests: chloride with silver nitrate, sulfate with barium chloride, carbonate with acid, and so on. Understanding these tests reinforces knowledge of solubility rules and reaction types.

Sicherheitswarnungen

  • AgNO₃ stains skin and clothing permanently
  • Use dilute acids only — concentrated acids can produce toxic gases
  • BaCl₂ is toxic if ingested
  • Dispose of silver waste in designated containers

Durchführung

1

Carbonate test: Add dilute H₂SO₄ to 2 mL of unknown solution and pass any gas through limewater. A milky appearance confirms CO₃²⁻.

8 Min.
2

Sulfate test: Add BaCl₂ solution to 2 mL of unknown acidified with HNO₃. A white precipitate insoluble in acid confirms SO₄²⁻.

8 Min.
3

Chloride test: Add AgNO₃ to 2 mL of unknown acidified with HNO₃. A white curdy precipitate soluble in NH₄OH confirms Cl⁻.

8 Min. AgNO₃ stains skin
4

Bromide test: Add AgNO₃ as above. A pale yellow precipitate slightly soluble in NH₄OH confirms Br⁻.

8 Min.
5

Iodide test: Add AgNO₃ as above. A yellow precipitate insoluble in NH₄OH confirms I⁻.

8 Min.
6

Nitrate test (brown ring): Layer concentrated H₂SO₄ under a mixture of unknown solution and FeSO₄. A brown ring at the junction confirms NO₃⁻.

10 Min. Handle concentrated H₂SO₄ with extreme care
7

Record all observations, precipitate colors, and solubility behavior. Cross-reference results to identify the anion(s) present.

10 Min.

Erwartete Ergebnisse

Each anion produces a characteristic response: carbonates effervesce with acid, sulfates give a white BaSO₄ precipitate, halides give colored AgX precipitates, and nitrates produce a brown ring.

Aufräumen

Collect silver-containing waste separately. Neutralize acid waste before disposal. Rinse all glassware thoroughly.
