Experiment No 10

The document describes an experiment to analyze an unknown salt. The salt was found to contain an acidic radical of CH3COO (acetate) and a basic radical of Al3+ (aluminum). A series of tests were performed: 1. Tests with sulfuric acid, oxalic acid, and iron chloride confirmed the presence of the CH3COO radical through the production of acetic acid, ethyl acetate, and a reddish-brown precipitate. 2. Tests with sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, and hydrogen sulfide found no evidence of ammonium, group 1, or group 2 ions, but a white precipitate with ammonium chloride indicated the presence of

PRECAUTIONS
1.Use dry test for conc. H,S04.
2.Use distill water for all test.
3.Always use holder to hold test tube while taking conc. acid or during heating.
