Best Answer

The sample of aluminum chloride be treated with some ammonia(1:1)aqueous solution and filtered.To the filterate add a few drops of 2N HNO3, aqueous solution, followed by a few drops of 1% aqueous solution of silver nitrate. Appearance of curdy white precipitate soluble in dilute ammonia aqueous solution would indicate presence of chloride. Since aluminum chloride is quite covalent, the chromyl chloride test may not be very effective

Describe the test for aluminium ions?

Test: Add aqueus sodium carbonate solution, then warm it. Observation: Formation of white precipitate. Deduction: The presence of aluminum ions, Al3+ Or Test: Observation: Add aqueous sodium hydroxide White precipitate occur Add aqueous sodium hydroxide (excess) & warm White precipitate solute Test with red litmus paper Changes red - blue Deduction: The presence of aluminum ions, Al3+
