Title	: QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS I

Aim	: To observe the reactions of cations in solution

Apparatus :
Solutions containing iron(II) , iron(III) , copper(II) , lead(II) , zinc(II) ,
aluminium(III) , magnesium(II) , calcium(II) ions ; test tubes , 
sodium hydroxide , ammonium hydroxide

Directions :
Observe and note the colours of the solutions of cations .
To eight test tubes add approximately 1 ml of each solution 
1) add a few drops sodium hydroxide ,  observe then add excess until no more 
changes are observed .
Wash and repeat with 
2) add a few drops of ammonium hydroxide , observe then add excess until no more
changes are observed .

Write your observations in a suitable tabular form .
