Nhận Biết Cation Bằng Kết Tủa

Tách hệ thống cation nhóm I-V bằng thuốc thử chọn lọc

Qualitative Analysis Intermediate (High School) 90 phút ~$12,00

Mục tiêu

Nhận biết các cation chưa biết trong dung dịch bằng sơ đồ phân tích định tính cổ điển với thuốc thử nhóm.

Bối cảnh

Classical qualitative analysis divides cations into five analytical groups based on their solubility with specific reagents. Group I cations (Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, Hg₂²⁺) precipitate with dilute HCl. Group II (Cu²⁺, Bi³⁺, Cd²⁺) precipitate with H₂S in acidic solution. This systematic approach was developed in the 19th century and remains a cornerstone of analytical chemistry education.

Cảnh báo an toàn

  • H₂S is toxic — work in fume hood at all times
  • Wear gloves when handling concentrated reagents
  • Never mix reagents without understanding the expected reaction
  • Dispose of heavy metal solutions in designated waste containers

Quy trình

1

Add 1 mL of 2M HCl to 5 mL of unknown solution. If a precipitate forms, centrifuge and separate the supernatant from the Group I precipitate.

10 phút
2

Test the Group I precipitate: wash with hot water (PbCl₂ dissolves), then add NH₄OH (AgCl dissolves forming [Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺).

10 phút
3

To the supernatant from Step 1, add thioacetamide or H₂S in acidic conditions. Centrifuge any Group II precipitate.

15 phút Use fume hood for H₂S
4

Make the supernatant basic with NH₄OH and add (NH₄)₂S. Centrifuge any Group III precipitate (Fe, Al, Cr hydroxides).

15 phút
5

To the remaining solution, add (NH₄)₂CO₃. Group IV cations (Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺, Sr²⁺) precipitate as carbonates.

10 phút
6

The remaining solution contains Group V cations (Na⁺, K⁺, NH₄⁺). Confirm with flame tests or specific reagent tests.

15 phút
7

Perform confirmation tests on each group precipitate and record your findings.

15 phút

Kết quả dự kiến

Each analytical group should produce characteristic precipitates with specific colors. Confirmation tests (flame tests, specific reagents) identify the individual cations present in the unknown solution.

Dọn dẹp

Collect all heavy metal waste in labeled containers. Rinse test tubes three times with distilled water. Clean centrifuge tubes thoroughly.
