REACTIONS OF GROUP V CATIONS 1.Reactions of Barium ,Ba2+ 1. To a littlie of the salt solution A white precipitate is obtained . Barium carbonate is precipi- tated NH,CI,NH,OH and ammonium car- 4 BaCl2 + (NH1) CO3 bonate are added . BaCO + 2NH2CI. 2. To a little of the salt solution ace- An yellow precipitate . Barium chromate is precipitated tic acid and pottassium chromate BaCl2 +K2CrO 4 solutions are added . BaCrO + 2KCI. 3. Flame test. A green colour is imparted to the Barium salts give the character- flame. A little of the salt is mixed with istic green colouration to the conc. HCI in a watcath glass and flame introduced into a non-luminous flame.
