Abstract

A first-semester general chemistry laboratory experiment for college is described in which students carry out qualitative analysis to identify seven unknown colorless solutions. The experiment serves to correlate qualitative analysis with classification of reactions and can also be used in second-year or advanced-placement (AP) high school chemistry classes.
