Please answer Questions 2 & 3 1. Identify the reagent (and its concentration) that is used to confirm the presence of each of the following:a. Ni²+b. Fe³+c. Zn²+2. Confirmatory tests for the various ions are often colorful. Identify the confirmatory compound/ion and the color foreach of the following ions:IonFe³+Ni²+A1³+Zn²+Confirmatory Compound/Ion3. Identify the reagent that separatesa. Fe³+ from Zn²+. Explain the chemistry of the separation.b. Fe³+ from Ni²+. Explain the chemistry of the separation.c. Al³+ from Zn²+. Explain the chemistry of the separation.Color A. Separation ofNi²+ and Fe³+from Zn²+ and Al³+B. Test forIron(III) Ion17b13b1111fC. Test for Nickel IonE. Test for 17bZinc Ion13bD. Test for Aluminum Ion17bThe Next Step11fTo digest the precipitate: to make theprecipitate more compact11fThe Experimental Procedure is written for a single reference solution. If you are simul-taneously identifying cations in both a reference solution and a test solution, adjust theprocedure accordingly. If the test solution is a sample with an environmental origin,then gravity filter 10-15 mL before beginning the Experimental Procedure.Prepare the hot water bath for use in Parts A and D.1. Separate the hydroxide precipitates from the amphoteric hydroxides. To 2 mLof the reference solution (in a small test tube) add 10 drops of 6 M NaOH (Caution!)(see Dry Lab 4.A). Centrifuge and save the precipitate. Test for complete precipita-tion (see Dry Lab 4.B) by adding several drops of 6 M NaOH to the supernatant.Decant the supernatant into a small test tube and save for Part D.2. Dissolve the hydroxide precipitates. Dissolve the precipitate with a minimumnumber of drops of conc HNO3. (Caution: Be careful!) If necessary, heat thesolution in the hot water bath for several minutes.1. Separate Fe³+ from Ni²tions. To the solution from Part A.2, add -5 drops of 4 MNH₂Cl and then drops of conc NH, (Caution: Do not inhale-use a fume hood ifavailable) until the solution is basic to pH paper; add an additional 2 drops of concNH, to ensure the complexing of the Ni²+. Centrifuge, save the precipitate, andtransfer the supernatant to a small test tube for testing in Part C.2. Confirmatory test. Dissolve the precipitate with 6 M HCl and add -5 drops of0.1 M NH.SCNⓇ The blood-red solution due to the thiocyanatoiron (III) complexconfirms the presence of iron(III) ion in the test solution.1. Confirmatory test. To the supernatant solution from Part B.1, add -3 drops ofdimethylglyoxime solution. Appearance of a pink (brick-red) precipitate con-firms the presence of nickel ion in the test solution.1. Separate Al³+ from Zn²+. Acidify the supernatant from Part A.1 to pH paper withdrops of 6 M HNO3. Add drops of 6 M NH, until the solution is now basic to pHpaper, then add -5 more drops. Heat the solution in the hot water bath for severalminutes to digest the gelatinous precipitate. Centrifuge and decant thesupernatant into a small test tube and save for the Zn²+ analysis in Part E.2. Confirmatory test. Wash the precipitate (see Dry Lab 4.C) twice with ~1 mL of hot,deionized water and discard each washing. Centrifugation is necessary after eachwashing. Add drops of 6 M HNO3 until the precipitate just dissolves. Add -2 drops ofthe aluminon reagent, stir, and add drops of 6 M NH3 until the solution is again basicand a precipitate re-forms. Centrifuge the solution; if the Al(OH), precipitate is nowpink or red and the solution is colorless, then Al³+ is present in the sample.1. Confirmatory test. To the supernatant from Part D.1, add drops of 6 M HCl untilthe solution is acid to pH paper; then add -3 drops of 0.2 M K₁[Fe(CN)6] and stir.A very-light-green precipitate confirms the presence of Zn²+ in the sample. Theprecipitate is slow to form and difficult to see. Centrifugation may be necessary.Disposal: Dispose of all test solutions and precipitates in the Waste MetalSalts container.CLEANUP: Rinse each test tube twice with tap water. Discard each rinse in theWaste Metal Salts container. Thoroughly clean each test tube with soap and tap water;rinse twice with tap water and twice with deionized water.The qualitative analysis of inorganic cations and anions is a study in itself. If furtherinterest in the separation and identification of ions seems intriguing, research variousqualitative analysis schemes online. Complete textbooks are also written on the subject.
