Analysis of Simple Salt Components

The document outlines a procedure for analyzing a simple salt to identify its anions and cations. It includes materials required, preliminary tests, systematic analysis for anions and cations, and confirmatory tests, leading to the conclusion that the salt contains acetate (CH3COO-) and calcium (Ca2+). The final report states the salt is calcium acetate (Ca(CH3COO)2).
