Background
For this experiment, the group III ions are Fe3+, Ni2+, Mn2+,
Al3+ and Zn2+.
These ions initially precipitate as either metal sulfides (in
an alkaline environment) or metal hydroxides.
This requires the chemist to generate a small quantity of
sulfide ion to precipitate the metals.
A convenient source of S2- is thioacetamide, which
decomposes when heated to give hydrogen sulfide
(H2S) which yields S2- in chemical reactions.
A reagent that is made and consumed in the same
flask is said to be produced in situ.

The precipitate is redissolved by adding
acid to the precipitate.
The addition of nitric acid neutralizes the
sodium hydroxide and regenerates the

There is no easy method which will allow
Mn2+, Fe3+ and Ni2+ to be separated;
therefore, the sample is divided.

F2 Test for Al3+


A successful test for aluminum requires
that the previous reactions and their pH
control were properly performed.
If not, false positive tests result.
The test for aluminum requires the free
aluminum ion to react with ammonia in the
presence of a reagent called aluminon and
form a red precipitate.
Be careful, if there is iron or zinc left in the
sample, a red precipitate will form resulting
in a false positive.

Sample Problem 19.12

Separating Ions by Selective Precipitation

PROBLEM: A solution consists of 0.20M MgCl2 and 0.10M CuCl2. Calculate


the [OH-] that would separate the metal ions as their hydroxides.
Ksp of Mg(OH)2= is 6.3x10-10; Ksp of Cu(OH)2 is 2.2x10-20.
PLAN: Both precipitates are of the same ion ratio, 1:2, so we can compare
their Ksp values to determine which has the greater solubility.
It is obvious that Cu(OH)2 will precipitate first so we calculate the
[OH-] needed for a saturated solution of Mg(OH)2. This should
ensure that we do not precipitate Mg(OH)2. Then we can check how
much Cu2+ remains in solution.
SOLUTION:
Mg(OH)2(s)
Mg2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) Ksp = 6.3x10-10
Cu(OH)2(s)

Cu2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)

[OH-] needed for a saturated Mg(OH)2 solution =


= 5.6x10-5M

Ksp = 2.2x10-20
