Cation Test

The cation test is a test to determine the cation present in a sample solution. The cation test is carried out as part of quantitative analysis in identifying the ions present in a solution. Cation test starts with the use of sodium hydroxide solution and ammonia solution. Different cations react to produce different observations that can be used to identify the specific cation present in the solution.

the diagrams are so beautiful and helped me so much. you explained the concepts so clearly and concisely. THANK YOU MR RUEL!!!!

[AlexRellort]

This is very helpful sir. The extra effort to make these eye-catching illustrations makes it easier to memorize in the head. Thank you so much sie. Wish me luck as my exam is in 3:30 hours.

[teooi]

REALLY LOVE your mind map, you explained it in very simple way
hope tomorrow's practical test can pass😇

[rupakbarman]

You made it soo easy sir. Thank you so much!

[anna-rose]

Hi Sir!!! Thank you for this helpful video, it helped me a lot understanding about cation test 😇🤗 I especially love how you explain it and the diagram, it is easier for me to understand !! Keep up the goodwork sir 😁

[hazimizani]

I love your vids sir! Theyre so great. Maybe sir could do videos about thermochemistry some time soon (Heat of displacement, precipation etc ..)

[JannahMa-nu]

fantastic im sitting my gcses soon, would u ever do a levels content on physics or chemistry

[deva]

Hi sir great video as always! If you would, could you please make a video about the anion test next time? I would really appreciate it.😁

[Hannah-twum]

Hi sir, ur videos are really well really really need help with past year paper questions on precipitates such as naming or identifying the precipitates formed....im been searching in youtube, but there is not really a video on past year paper identifying precipitates....please sir do an video on this
