What is the test substance?
« on: November 18, 2017, 04:35:11 PM »
We have 2 samples of some unknown white crystalline substance. Substances are dissolved in water.

To first sample we add 0.1 M HCl, but we do not see any change.
Then we add H2S and we acidified solution. However, we do not see any change.
Then we neutralize solution with ammonia.
To solution we add ammonium sulfide - on the begining white precipitate formed, but in excess of the reagent, the precipitate dissolves.

To second sample we add BaCl2 instead of HCl, but nothing happens.
We acidified solution with 0.1 M diluted nitric acid - there is no change.
Then we add AgNO3 and we get a white precipitate.
FeCl3 do not show up any change.

Hi there, Snip3r:, I'd like to welcome you to the Chemical Forums, but I want to ask you to review our Forum Rules{click}.  You already accepted the rules when you signed up for our forum, and you have to follow them, whether you agree with them or not, or even if you're unaware of them.

We want to see you do some work, on your own, and we'll help.

Here's a tip.  Build a table of each reaction, and the result.  This will help you use your textbook, to find the answers you need, to complete your class.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
