For this experiment, the group III ions are Fe
3+
, Ni
2+
, Mn
2+
,
Al
3+
and Zn
2+
.
These ions initially precipitate as either metal sulfides (in
an alkaline environment) or metal hydroxides.
This requires the chemist to generate a small quantity of
sulfide ion to precipitate the metals.
A convenient source of S
2-
is thioacetamide, which
decomposes when heated to give hydrogen sulfide
(H
2
S) which yields S
2-
in chemical reactions.
A reagent that is made and consumed in the same
flask is said to be produced in situ.

A successful test for aluminum requires
that the previous reactions and their pH
control were properly performed.
If not, false positive tests result.
The test for aluminum requires the free
aluminum ion to react with ammonia in the
presence of a reagent called aluminon and
form a red precipitate.
Be careful, if there is iron or zinc left in the
sample, a red precipitate will form resulting
in a false positive.

If zinc is present a white precipitate
forms.

Sample Problem 19.12 Separating Ions by Selective Precipitation
SOLUTION:
PROBLEM: A solution consists of 0.20M MgCl
2
and 0.10M CuCl
2
. Calculate
the [OH
-
] that would separate the metal ions as their hydroxides.
K
sp
of Mg(OH)
2
= is 6.3x10
-10
; K
sp
of Cu(OH)
2
is 2.2x10
-20
.

PLAN: Both precipitates are of the same ion ratio, 1:2, so we can compare
their K
sp

values to determine which has the greater solubility.
It is obvious that Cu(OH)
2
will precipitate first so we calculate the
[OH
-
] needed for a saturated solution of Mg(OH)
2
. This should
ensure that we do not precipitate Mg(OH)
2
. Then we can check
how much Cu
2+
remains in solution.
