Test of Sulfite -

1) Add BaCl_2 solution which gives white precipitate

Ba^{2+} +SO^{2-}_3 \rightarrow BaSO_3 \: White

2) Add an H_2O_2 solution warm and then add a BaCl_2 solution

SO^{2-}_3 +H_2O_{2} \rightarrow SO^{2-}_4 +H_2O 

Ba^{2+}+ SO^{2-}_4 \rightarrow BaSO_4 (white)

BaSO_4 is insoluble in HCl & HNO_3

- wherein

White ppt of BaSO_4 \: and \: BaSO_4 confirm the presence of SO^{2-}_3

 

 

 

Test of Sulfide ion -

Add a Sodium nitroprusside solution in an alkaline midium

Na_2S + Na_2(Fe(CN)_5NO) \overset{NaOH}{\rightarrow} Na_4(Fe(CN)_6 NOS) \: Purple

- wherein

Purple color confirm the presence of  S^{2-}

 

  

SO32+ + Zn + 8H+ →  H2S ­ + 3Zn2+ + 3H2O
