You are given a mixture of ions which may contain any four of the following ions :Fe3+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Mg2+, Sr2+, and Ni2+. Based on your knowledge of qualitative analysis of ions, solubility and complex formation , devise a method to separate and identify the components of the unknown mixture.
In order to identify and separate the cations we perform a qualitative test as follows,
Since the above radicals have different solubility products and get precipitated by different reagents in their solutions.
On reactions with ammonium hydroxide(NH4OH) and NH4Cl
Fe3+ ions precipitate first as Fe(OH)3 .This is because NH4Cl decrease ionisation degree of NH4OH and furnish low [OH-] and as group (iii) cations Fe3+ precipitates.
On reaction with H2S in ammoniacal solution Zn2+ and Ni2+ precipitates as ZnS and NiS. Reaction is feasible as basic medium increases ionisation of H2S increasing [S2-]. which accounts for high value of Ksp.
In case of Cu2+ we use H2S gaseous form in prescence of dilute HCl.
Thus CuS is precipated as Ksp is high and HCl deceases ionisation of
H2S which furnishes low [S2-] due to common ion effect of H+.
Similarly, for Mg2+ and Sr2+ which belong to group (vi) and (v)
reaction with NH4OH + Na2HPO4 (in case of Mg2+) and (NH4)2CO3+NH4Cl yield MgHPO4 and SrCO3 respectively.
Thus , we may conclude performing the above step we can identify the desired four ions from the mixture whichever they are.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF GROUP II CATIONS Qualitative analysis is a method for identifying the elements present in a unknown mixture. For this purpose, metal cations are broadly classified into three groups based upon their solubilities. Group I cations, Pb2+, Ag, and Hg22+ form insoluble chlorides. Group Il cations, Cu2+, B12+, Hg2+, Cd2+ Sn4+, Sb2+ form insoluble sulfides belowyph 0.5 Group III cations, Al3+, Cr3+.Co3t felt Mn2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ form insoluble sulfides above pH 9. Group IV cations, Ba 2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, NH4+, are the...
A solution containing a mixture of metal cations was treated as outlined. 1. Dilute HCl was added and a precipitate formed. The precipitate was filtered off. 2. H,S was bubbled through the acidic solution. Again, a precipitate formed and was filtered off. 3. The pH was raised to about 9 and H,S was again bubbled through the solution. No precipitate formed. 4. Finally, sodium carbonate was added. A precipitate formed and was filtered off. What can be said about the...

Construct a flow chart describing the seperation of the mixture and the isolation of each compound in this experiment. (Lab steps/procedures includes for reference) 4. Construct a flow chart describing the separation of the mixture and the isolation of each compound in this experiment. A commonly used method of separating a mixture of organic compounds is known as liquid-liquid extraction. Most reactions of organic compounds require extraction at some stage of product purification. In this experiment you will use extraction...
