Identification of Group V cations on the semimicro scale

16 IDENTIFICATION OF GROUP V CATIONS ON THE SEMIMICRO SCALE Apart from a partial separation of magnesium, it is not possible to separate the Group V cations from one another it is however simple to carry out individual tests for each of them. As we have used ammonia and ammonium salts in the previous separations, we cannot test for ammonium ions in the 

To identify Group V cations, follow the instructions of Table VI. 19. 

1 ml water. Divide into two unequal parts retain the smaller portion in the centrifuge tube. 

2 drops of magneson reagent, followed by several drops of NaOH solution until alkaline. 

Confirm by flame test persistent yellow flame.
