Question

How do you test for Anions?

Answer 1

The test for anions can be summarized as follows:

1. The anions can be determined both Qualitatively(identity of anion) and Quantitatively(amount of anion).
2. The primitive wet chemistry categorizes and measure the anion identity and quantity by using calorimetric approaches.
3. The test mentioned here is for particular ${\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}$ ions which can be precipitated from an insoluble salt of chloride by adding a small amount of ${\mathrm{AgNO}}_3$ solution.
4. The inference of the above test is the formation of white precipitate.
