A. Precedure/ Data Collection (15 Marks)

This experiment involves qualitative analysis to identify the cations and anions present in solutions Y and Z. Various chemical tests are performed on the solutions and observations are recorded. Based on the results of the tests using sodium hydroxide, ammonia, silver nitrate, barium nitrate, nitric acid, and lead nitrate, the cation in solution Y is determined to be copper and the anion is chloride. The cation in solution Z is identified as lead. Precipitation of barium sulfate is observed, indicating the process of precipitation has occurred.
