Question

I have an unknown experiment analysis . What should I start with Catios or Anions? And why C. Chemical Formula of your Unknown Salt (5pts.): In the space below, give a brief explanation of the approach you used to determine the identity of your salt. Explain how you determined both the cation and the anion. Be sure to address certain obvious questions. Did you start with the anion or the cation? For the cation, at what point in the procedure did you begin? For instance, did you start at G-2-1 or G-4-1 and why? Did you have an immediate ty? If so, explain. For the anion, were you able to automatically eliminate certain possibilities? If so, how BE to support your conclusion with a definite chemical test result for both the cation and anion!!! Do not just guess Be concise. Do not write a step-by-step procedure; just an explanation of your thinking. Neatness and logic count. Your writing must be legible. Your paper is due at the end of today's lab period. (15 pts.)

Explanation / Answer

We typically work with CATIONS

since we have a complete analytical method procedure for this

It is much easier to interact with the cations rather than anions

Recall that cations ar epossitively charged, so most of them are metals

anions, in the other hand, migh be complex fomrulas such as SO3-2, SO4-2, CO3-2,etc...
