Abstract
Is the present "scheme" of Qualitative analysis satisfactory? For many years the answer has been, No ! In the present ”scheme” it has frequently been necessary to strike a compromise between accuracy and simplicity. One solution to the problem can be found in the availability of a number of specific reagents, one for each substance to be identified, giving unmistakable tests and positive results. It would greater simplify the situation if a single inorganic salt could be used as a reagent for all the metallic ions.
One of the most successful reagents used was potassium mercuric thiocyanate. The water soluble salts of sodium and potassium were employed because of their reactivity in acid solutions.
