ANALYTICAL  CHEMISTRY. 
For  the  examination  in  qualitative  inorganic  analysis  the  class  was  divided 
into  two  sections.  The  candidates  were  first  given  a  written  examination  on 
the  branch.    The  questions  were  as  follows  : 
FIRST  SECTION. 
A — Give  the  means  of  detecting  HCN,HC1,HI  and  HBr  when  all  are  present 
in  a  solution  of  their  salts. 
B — How  would  you  distinguish  the  salts  of  H2SOi,H2S.,03  and  H2S03  from 
each  other  ? 
C — (1)  How  would  you  test  sulphuric  acid  for  nitric  acid  ?  (2)  How  would 
you  test  nitric  acid  for  chlorine  ? 
D — (1)  Name  three  salts  which  are  soluble  in  water  and  whose  aqueous 
solutions  have  alkaline  reaction  to  litmus  paper.  (2)  Name  three  salts  which 
are  soluble  in  water  and  whose  aqueous  solutions  have  acid  reaction  to  litmus 
paper.  (3)  Name  three  salts  which  are  soluble  in  water  and  whose  aqueous 
solution  are  neutral  to  litmus  paper. 
E — Should  pure  hydrochloric  acid  leave  a  residue  upon  evaporation  ? 
F—  Describe  the  behavior  of  calcium  during  the  analysis  of  a  solution  con- 
taining it  and  phosphoric  acid  for  bases. 
G — A  certain  official  salt  occurs  in  orange-}7ellow,  crystalline  pieces  which 
are  odorless,  or  nearly  so,  and  soluble  in  water.  The  aqueous  solution  is  acid 
to  litmus  paper,  yields  a  brownish-red  precipitate  with  NH4OH,  a  blue  one  with 
K^Fe(CN)6,  and  a  white  one  insoluble  in  HN03  with  AgNOs.  What  is  the  name 
of  the  salt  ? 
SECOND  SECTION. 
A — A  solution  containing  ammonium  salts  is  to  be  tested  for  potassium 
salts.  Tell  how  you  would  prepare  the  solution  for  the  application  of  a, reagent 
to  precipitate  the  potassium.  Name  the  reagent  you  would  use  and  give  its 
chemical  formula. 
B — Describe  the  chemical  test  by  means  of  which  you  would  distinguish  be- 
tween: (1)  The  official  Chlorine  Water  and  Hydrochloric  Acid.  (2)  Sodium 
Bicarbonate  and  Sodium  Borate. 
C — (1)  Name  three  Salts  of  Zinc  which  are  soluble  in  water.  (2)  Name 
three  Salts  of  Calcium  which  are  insoluble  in  water. 
D — How  would  you  test  Potassium  Iodide  for  Chloride  ? 
E — What  compounds  are  formed  upon  mixing:  (1)  KOH  and  HgCl2.  (2) 
NH4OH  and  HgCl2.    (3)  Ca(OH)2  and,  Hg2Cl2.    (4)  NH4OH  and  Hg2Cl2.
