Activity 17 : Qualitative analysis to identify salts
Rajoo works in a laboratory. He noticed that there are two large bottles. However both the labels
have fallen off. He found four labels beside the bottles. i.e ‘Sodium Chloride Solution’, ‘Sodium
Carbonate Solution’, ‘Sodium Sulphate Solution’ and ‘Sodium Nitrate Solution’. So he has to carry out
confirmatory test to identify the anion in both the solutions.
Complete the graphic organizers describing four tests and their results. The charts can then be used
by Rajoo to distinguish which bottle contains which solution.
