Credit will be given for strict adherence to the instructions, for observations precisely recorded, and for accurate inferences. AIl tests. observations and inferences must be clearly entered in your answer book, in ink, at the time they are made.

C is a double salt. Carry out the following exercises on C. Record your observations and identify any gas(es) evolved. State the conclusion drawn from the result of each test.

a) Put all of C into a test tube. Add about 5cm\(^3\) of distilled water, stir and test with litmus paper. Divide the Solution into two portions

(b) To the first portion, add sodium hydroxide solution in drops and then in excess. Heat the resulting mixture and keep it for minutes.

(c) To the second portion, add few drops of Bacl\(_{2(aq)}\) followed by excess dilute hydrochloric acid
