Step 1: To
about 20 drops of unknown solution all about 20 drops of dilute HCl in a
small test tube.
Step 4:
Add about 2 mL of distilled water to the test tube, which contains the precipitate
and place it in a beaker of boiling water for about 3 minutes.
Step 6:
Add a few drops of K2CrO4 to the solution from step
5.
Step 7:
Add about 10 drops of concentrated ammonium hydroxide, NH4OH,
to the precipitate from step 5.
Step 9:
Add nitric acid, HNO3, drop-wise to the solution from step 8,
until the solution becomes acidic.
