Study Notes
Qualitative Analysis
- Qualitative analysis aims to identify the materials present in a sample. This involves determining the chemical identity of species in the sample.
Electrolytes and Non-electrolytes
- Electrolytes conduct electricity in solution due to the presence of ions.
- Examples of electrolytes include acids, bases, and soluble ionic compounds.
- Non-electrolytes do not conduct electricity because they do not dissociate into ions in solution.
- Examples of non-electrolytes include molecular compounds and insoluble ionic compounds.
Reactions in Electrolyte Solutions
- Reactions in electrolyte solutions occur between ions.
- These reactions can be reversible or irreversible.
-
Reversible ion exchange reactions occur when easily soluble compounds are formed, like:
- KCl + NaBr ↔ KBr + NaCl
-
Irreversible ion exchange reactions occur when:
- Difficultly soluble compounds are formed: AgNO3 + NaCI → AgCI↓ + NaNO3
- Gases are formed: Na2S + 2HCI → 2 NaCI + H2S↑
- Weak electrolytes (acids, bases, water) are formed: HCI + NaOH → NaCI + H2O
- Complex compounds are formed: Fe(CN)2 + 4 KCN → K4[Fe(CN)6]
Analytic Reactions
- Analytic reactions are irreversible ion exchange reactions in electrolyte solutions.
- These reactions produce a visible external effect (analytic signal) that indicates the presence of a specific ion in the solution.
- Analytic signals can be observed as precipitate formation, dissolution, color changes, or gas production.
Pb2+ Ion Analytic Reactions
-
Reaction 1: Pb(NO3)2 + 2HCl → PbCl2↓ + 2HNO3
- Produces a white precipitate of PbCl2.
-
Reaction 2: Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI → PbI2↓ + 2KNO3
- Produces a yellow precipitate of PbI2.
Fe3+ Ion Analytic Reaction
- FeCl3 + 6KCNS → K3[Fe(CNS)6] + 3KCl
- Produces a blood-red complex ion, [Fe(CNS)6]3-.
NH4+ Ion Analytic Reaction
- NH4CI + NaOH → NH4OH↑ + NaCI
- When heated, the reaction mixture releases ammonia gas with a characteristic odor.
CO32- Ion Analytic Reactions
-
Reaction 1: K2CO3 + BaCl2 → BaCO3 + 2KCI
- Produces a white precipitate of BaCO3.
-
Reaction 2: K2CO3 + 2HCl → H2CO3 + 2KCI
- Produces carbon dioxide gas (bubbles) when H2CO3 decomposes.
SO42- Ion Analytic Reaction
- Na2SO4 + BaCl2 → BaSO4 + 2NaCI
- Produces a white precipitate of BaSO4.
Characteristics of Analytic Reactions
- Sensitivity: refers to the ability to detect minimal amounts of the substance being tested. Sensitivity is expressed in terms of the minimal amount of substance, concentration, or limit of dilution.
- Specificity: refers to the ability of a reaction to be specific to one ion or molecule, not interfered with by other ions in the solution.
- Selectivity: refers to reactions specific to groups of ions having similar properties.
- Group Reactions: reactions involving reagents that precipitate ions belonging to specific groups, called group reagents.
Classification of Cations
- Cations are classified into five analytical groups based on their reactions with group reagents: hydrochloric acid, hydrogen sulfide, ammonium sulfide, and ammonium carbonate.
- The classification is based on the solubility of their chlorides, sulfides, and carbonates.
- Group 1: Pb2+, Hg22+, Ag+ (form precipitates with dilute hydrochloric acid)
-
Group 2:
- 2/a: Hg2+, Cu2+, Bi3+, Cd2+ (form precipitates with hydrogen sulfide in dilute mineral acid)
- 2/b: Sn2+, Sn4+, As3+, As5+, Sb3+, Sb5+ (form precipitates with hydrogen sulfide in dilute mineral acid, but soluble in ammonium polysulphide)
- Group 3: Fe2+, Fe3+, Co2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Cr3+, Al3+, Zn2+ (form precipitates with ammonium sulfide in neutral or ammoniacal medium)
- Group 4: Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+ (form precipitates with ammonium carbonate in the presence of ammonium chloride)
- Group 5: Mg2+, Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+ (do not react with reagents from previous groups).
Classification of Anions
- Anions are classified into four groups based on their reactions with hydrochloric acid and the solubility of their barium and silver salts.
- Group 1: CO32-, SiO32-, S2-, SO32-, S2O32- (react with dilute hydrochloric acid and/or form precipitates)
- Group 2: SO42-, PO43-, Fˉ, BO33- (do not react with hydrochloric acid, but form precipitates with barium ions in neutral medium)
- Group 3: Clˉ, Bˉ, Iˉ, SCNˉ (do not react with hydrochloric acid or barium ions, but form precipitates with silver ions in dilute nitric acid medium)
- Group 4: NO2‾, NO3‾, ClO3‾ (do not react with reagents from previous groups).
Flame Test
- A flame test is a quick method for qualitative detection of some ions by observing the color of the flame when the compound is heated.
- This technique is based on the excitation of electrons in the metal ions. As the excited electrons return to their ground state, they emit energy in the form of visible light.
- Common ions that produce characteristic flame colors include:
- Sodium: bright yellow
- Potassium: pale violet
- Calcium: brick red (orange-red)
- Strontium: crimson (medium)
- Barium: light green
- Lead: pale bluish
- Copper: green or blue
- Not all metal ions produce visible flame colors.
