Detecting Acidic and Basic Radicals

The document outlines a laboratory experiment aimed at detecting one acidic radical (Cl-) and one basic radical (Fe3+) in a given compound through various tests. Observations from preliminary and confirmatory tests indicate the presence of specific ions and compounds. The final results confirm the presence of Cl- as the acidic radical and Fe3+ as the basic radical.

1) Heating in dry test
tube
Colourless gas evolved Cl- , Br- may be present
with a pungent smell

2 ) Charcoal cavity test Coloured residue Salts of Cu2+ , Ni2+, Cr2,


( heat in reducing flame ) present Fe 3+ may be present
Dry test for acidic
radicals No gas evolved CO3 (2-) , SO3 (2-) etc
3. dilute H2SO4 test may be absent
4. KMnO4 test: Pink colour of solution Cl- may be present
small amount of disappears
substance + dil H2SO4 +

+ H2S Cu2+ , As3+ absent

10. O . S + NH4Cl + Brown ppt obtained Group IIIA present


NH4OH ( Till alk) Al3 + Fe3+ present

Analysis of group

11.O .S + NH4Cl + Brown ppt obtained Fe 3+ ions present


NH4OH till alkaline

Filter the above solution

Residue + dil HCl------


sol A
Confirmatory tet for fe3+

12. solution A + Blue ppt obtained Fe3+ cofirmed


K4[ Fe(CN6]

[Link] A + 2 drops Blood red colouration Fe3+ confirmed


NH4CNS
Result

The acidic radical is : Cl-

The basic radical is :Fe3+

On blank page write the following equations

1) FeCl3 + 3NH4OH ------Fe(OH)3 ↓+ 3NH4Cl


2)Fe(OH)3 +3HCL--------FeCl3 + 3H2O

3)4FeCl3 + 3K4[fe(CN)6] --- 12 KCl + Fe4[Fe(CN)6] ( ferric ferro cyanide)


Prussian blue

4) FeCl3 + 3 (NH4) CNS ----3NH4Cl+ Fe(CNS)3 Ferric sulphocyanide


Blood red colour
