Lecture: Qualitative responses to organic matter and ions

Qualitative reactions are used to determine substances in mixtures. With their help, you can distinguish a substance from others, as well as find out its quantitative content. For example, such reactions are those in which a specific precipitation or evolution of gas occurs, as well as reactions in which the color of the solution occurs. Their use is possible when the substances contained in the mixture, except for the one being determined, do not give similar signs during the reaction.

The tables present various options for detecting specific ions:
