A Guidebook to Qualitative Inorganic Analysis

Abstract

Purpose of this book on qualitative inorganic analysis, is to provide the students with the necessary guidelines for solving confidently an unknown inorganic sample, within the duration of a practical examination. It insists on acquiring the basic knowledge about the classical chemistry associated with detecting the cations and anions as well as the dissolution aspects in bringing them in solution. They enable a student to modify the detection procedures carefully according to the composition of the sample, without losing the logical aspects. Dry/preliminary tests for the cations and anions, treatment of the Na₂CO₃ extract as well as that of its residue, form the foundation of the present semi-micro analytical procedures.
