Qualitative analysis (virtual)
Find the cation in an unknown salt by adding group reagents in order (qualitative analysis).
Open the interactive simulation →How to use this simulation
- Press “Add group 1 reagent”, then group 2, and so on, until a precipitate appears.
- Note the group and the colour of the precipitate.
- Choose the cation and check it with its confirmatory test.
- Press “New unknown salt” to try again.
What to notice
- Each reagent only precipitates its own group once the earlier groups are removed.
- The colour of the precipitate narrows it down.
