A white precipitate formed when adding silver nitrate to a solution indicates the presence of chloride ions.

Chromatographic retention time refers to the time taken for a compound to elute from the column, which helps in identifying the compound.

Colorimetric analysis refers to determining the concentration of a colored solution, which can indicate the presence of specific ions.

A precipitation reaction refers to the formation of a solid (precipitate) from a solution when certain ions react with each other.

A positive test for sulfate ions produces a white precipitate of barium sulfate when barium chloride is added.

Gas chromatography provides high resolution and sensitivity, making it an excellent choice for qualitative analysis of volatile compounds.

Flame tests are used to identify the presence of specific metal ions based on the characteristic colors they emit when heated in a flame.

Indicators are used in titrations to provide a visual color change at the endpoint, helping to identify the completion of the reaction.

UV-Vis spectroscopy is significant in qualitative analysis as it can identify the presence of colored ions based on their absorbance characteristics.

Precipitation reactions are commonly used to qualitatively analyze cations by forming insoluble compounds that can be visually identified.

Gel electrophoresis separates amino acids based on their charge and size, making it effective for qualitative analysis.

Electrophoresis is the best technique for separating charged particles in a solution based on their charge and size.

Ion chromatography is specifically designed for the separation and identification of anions in a mixture.

Capillary electrophoresis is effective for separating anions based on their charge and size, making it suitable for qualitative analysis.
