Description: | Colorless or white, granular or caked salt. Effloresces in warm, dry air. Its solutions are alkaline to phenolphthalein. A 0.1M solution should have a pH about 9. |
Solubility: | Freely soluble in water; very slightly soluble in alcohol |
Identification A (By Chemical test): | A dense precipitate should form. |
Identification B (By Chemical test 1): | With silver nitrate solution neutral solution should yield yellow precipitate that soluble in 2N nitric acid and 6 N ammonium hydroxide. |
Identification B (By Chemical test 2): | With ammonium molybdate solution, acidified solutions should yield a yellow precipitate that should soluble in 6N ammonium hydroxide. |
