Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In qualitative analysis, what does a positive result in a precipitation test indicate?
  • Step 1: Understand what a precipitation test is. It is a method used to detect the presence of certain ions in a solution.
  • Step 2: Know that when you add a reagent (a chemical) to the solution, it can react with specific ions.
  • Step 3: If the ions are present, they will react with the reagent to form a solid substance called a precipitate.
  • Step 4: A positive result means that you see this solid precipitate forming in the solution.
  • Step 5: This indicates that the specific ions you were testing for are indeed present in the solution.
