Identification
  •  A - When strongly heated, it assumes a yellow color that disappears on cooling : Conforms.
  • B - In the presence of sodium acetate, solutions of zinc salts yield a white precipitate with hydrogen sulfide. This precipitate is insoluble in acetic acid, but is dissolved by 3 N hydrochloric acid : Conforms.
Alkalinity

If a red color is produced, not more than 0.30 mL of 0.10 N hydrochloric acid is required to discharge it.

Carbonate and Color Solution

No effervescence occurs and the resulting solution is clear and colorless.

Lead

The addition of 5 drops of potassium chromate TS produces no turbidity or precipitate.

Iron and Heavy Metals

White precipitates are formed when potassium ferrocyanide TS is added to the first portion and when sodium sulfide TS is added to the second portion.
