which confirmatory test will be used for iron (iii) , and which one for nickel (ii)? why was this reagent chosen? should the solution be acidic or basic for this test?

Respuesta :

A confirmatory test for iron(iii) is Potassium Ferrocyanide.

The addition of potassium thiocyanate to Fe3+ produces a reddish-brown color due to the formation of this complex. The formation of the reddish-brown color confirms the presence of Fe3+.

The solution should be acidic for this test

A confirmatory test for nickel(ii) is dimethylglyoxime reagent (DMG).

Adding  2 or 3 drops of dimethylglyoxime reagent (DMG) to nickel(ii) will produce a rose-red precipitate of Ni(DMG)2 should form.

The solution should be basic for this test.

What is the confirmatory test for Fe3+?

Fe3+ forms a complex with thiocyanate, SCN−. The addition of potassium thiocyanate to Fe3+ produces a reddish-brown color due to the formation of this complex. The formation of the reddish-brown color confirms the presence of Fe3+.

What is the confirmatory test for Ni2+?

Add dimethylglyoxime(DMG) to the nickel ion solution. Next, add a little bit of ammonia to make the solution basic. It will give a red precipitate. This confirms the presence of Ni2+.
