Rajoo works in a laboratory. He noticed that there are two large bottles. However both the labels have fallen off. He found four labels beside the bottles. i.e ‘Sodium Chloride Solution’, ‘Sodium Carbonate Solution’, ‘Sodium Sulphate Solution’ and ‘Sodium Nitrate Solution’. So he has to carry out confirmatory test to identify the anion in both the solutions.
Complete the graphic organizers describing four tests and their results. The charts can then be used by Rajoo to distinguish which bottle contains which solution.
