The easiest chemical way is tannic acid, the solution turns dark black. This also makes an excellent black writing ink, except it "burns" the paper surface over long periods of time.

1) Add a few drops of dilute sodium hydroxide to the solution that you want to test for iron ions

2) A precipitate will form

3) If the precipitate is green, this indicates the presence of Fe (iron) 2+ ions. If the precipitate is red-brown, this indicates the presence of Fe (iron) 3+ ions.

Which test proves that iron 2 ions is conclusive?

To conclusively prove the presence of iron(II) ions, you can perform a colorimetric test using potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) solution (also known as potassium ferrocyanide). This test forms a deep blue precipitate of iron(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) which confirms the presence of iron(II) ions in the solution.

How will you synthesize Iron II bromide from Iron II carbonate?

To synthesize Iron II bromide from Iron II carbonate, you would first react Iron II carbonate with hydrobromic acid to form Iron II bromide and water. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: FeCO3 + 2HBr → FeBr2 + H2O + CO2. The Iron II bromide can be obtained by isolating and purifying it from the reaction mixture.
