Characteristic reactions of Sodium cations Na+ Characteristic reactions of ammonia cations NH4+
Characteristic reactions of Potassium cations K+
Potassium hexanitritocobaltate (III) Na3[Co(NO2)6] isolates yellow crystalline precipitation of double salt of potassium and sodium from K+ salt solution:
2 K+ + Na+ +[Co(NO2)6]3- = K2Na[Co(NO2)6]↓
2 KCl + Na3[Co(NO2)6] = K2Na[Co(NO2)6] ↓+ 2NaCl
Test carrying out
Add 3-4 drops of reagent to 2-3 drops of potassium salt solution.
Analyzed solution should have pH not more than 7 because reagent is easily destroyed in alkali medium:
Na3[Co(NO2)6] + 3NaOH = Co(OH)3 ↓+ 6NaNO2
At pH less than 7 unstable acid is formed:
K2Na[Co(NO2)6]↓+3HCl=H3[Co(NO2)6] (solution) + NaCl + 2KCl
2H3[Co(NO2)6] + 4HCl = 5NO + 2CoCl2 +7NO2 + 5H2O
Reagent and precipitation are not destroyed in acetic acid.
The ions of ammonia prevent the determination of Potassium ions, because ammonia forms the same yellow precipitation like potassium ions:
2 NH4Cl + Na3[Co(NO2)6] = (NH4)2Na[Co(NO2)6] ↓+ 2NaCl
Concentration limit с = 1:13000.
Characteristic reactions of Sodium cations Na+
Flame test Sodium (pharmacopeia’s reaction). Salts of Sodium paint flame in a persistent yellow color.
Implementation of reaction. A platinum wire moistens with solution HCl and heat in a flame. A clean platinum wire moistens with solution of salt Sodium and heat in a flame. If there are ions to Sodium, flame paints in a persistent yellow color.
Characteristic reactions of ammonia cations NH4+
1. Alkalis (NaOH, KOH). Alkalis isolate ammonia from ammonia salts at heating:
NH4+ + OH- = NH3 +H2O
NH4Cl + NaOH NH3↑ + NaCl + H2O
Reaction is highly sensitive, specific; concentration limit с=1:5000000.
Test carrying out
Add 4-5 drops of NaOH or KOH solution to 3-4 drops of ammonia salt and heat at water bath. Isolated ammonia is detected on odor or red litmus paper wetted by DW, which becomes blue in ammonia vapor.
2. Nessler’s reagent K2[HgI4]+KOH forms red-brown precipitation with ammonia ions:
NH4+ + 2[HgI4]2- + 4KOH = + 7 I- + 3H2O
NH4Cl+2K2[HgI4]+4KOH = + 7KI + KCl+3H2O
Test carrying out
Add 2-3 drops of Nessler’s reagent to 1-2 drops of diluted ammonia salt. In presence of ammonia ion trace the solution becomes orange.
Reaction is highly sensitive, concentration limit с = 1:10000000.
