Abstract
Detection of metal ions in solution has been performed without employing H2S or any other sulfide materials. The new method is free from the interference from anions. Identification of Na+, K+, and NH4+ has been made possible directly from an aqueous extract of the sample mixture. A technique has been developed to identify Mg2+ directly without group separation. Metal ions have been classified into four groups by sequential treatment with 5 N HCl, Na2SO4, and 5 N NaOH as group reagents. In comparison to the existing method, it is much faster and, at the same time, reliable enough.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
