A precipitate formed and was filtered off. Then, the pH was raised to about 8 and H2S was again bubbled through the solution. A precipitate again formed and was filtered off. Finally, the solution was treated with a sodium carbonate solution, which resulted in no precipitation. Which metal ions were definitely present, which were definitely absent, and which may or may not have been present in the orginal mxture? Definitely present Definitely absent Ag Ba2 Co?

Explanation / Answer

Since the solution is treated with dil. HCl, H2S in acidic medium, H2S in basic medium and then with sodium carbonate we can definitely say abut the presence/absence of first, second, fourth and fifth group cations of qualitative ananlysis.

Definitely absent ions are

Ag+, Pb+2, Ba+2 ,Ca+2 and Sr+2

Ions that are possibly present

Cu+2, Sn+4Hg+2, Co+2,Zn+2(used the ions given in list only)

Ions may/ may not be present

Fe+2,,K+, , Mg+2
