Final Report

Exercise 1

CHEM 182 DL1 Anions, Cations, and Ionic Reactions

The anion in Unknown #103 was carbonate. I compared my observations in Data Table 1 and both Unknown #103 and carbonate had the same reactions.

1. What was the identity of the anion in Unknown #103? Explain how you used the observations recorded in Data Table 1 to reach this conclusion.

The anion in Unknown #104 is sulfide. I compared my observations in Data Table 1 to the observation of Unknown #104 and saw that 104 matched with sulfide.

2. What was the identity of the anion in Unknown #104? Explain how you used the observations recorded in Data Table 1 to reach this conclusion.

Date Table 1: Anion Confirmation Tests

AgNO3 + Na2S ==> Ag2S + NaNO3

3. Write the chemical equation for the ionic reaction between Na S and AgNO .2 3

AgNO3 + NaBr = NaNO3 + AgBr

4. Write the chemical equation for ionic reaction between NaBr and AgNO .3

Exercise 2

Data Table 2: Cation Flame Tests

After comparing results I can conclude that Unknown #105 is copper. The color is how I determined my final answer.

1. What was the identity of the cation in Unknown #105? Explain how you used the observations recorded in Data Table 2 to reach this conclusion.

I would conduct the tests that were used in this lab. I would put the unknown chemical in a well and add HCl. I would then record my observations. I would then conduct the flame test. After analyzing my observations I should be able to positively identify the chemical.

2. If you were asked to conf irm the identity of an unknown chemical such as lithium sulf ide (Li S), describe the tests that you would use to conf irm the identity. Use your results in both Exercise 1 and Exercise 2 to describe the observations in both the cation and anion tests that would allow the unknown to be conf irmed as lithium sulf ide.
