A solution that may containn Cu^2+, Bi^2+,Sn^4+, or Sb^2+ is treated with Thioacetamide in an acidic medium. The black precipitate which forms is partly soluble in strongly basic solution. The precipitate which remains is soluble in 6M HNO3 and gives only a white precipitate upon the addition oh NH4OH. The basic solution, when acidified, produces an orange precipitate.
(1) Which group II ions are present?
(2) Which are absent?
(3)Which are in doubt?
(4) HOW WOULD YOU REMOVE ALL DOUBT??
Thank you very much for your help!
