Overview and good practical habits

Flowchart showing an analysis plan for an unknown inorganic salt with branches for observation, flame test, NaOH cation tests, and separate anion tests for carbonate, sulfate, and halides Qualitative analysis identifies what ions are present in an unknown inorganic compound, not how much is present. Most salts contain a positive ion and a negative ion, so you need evidence for both.

Step-by-step lessons on Edexcel A Level Chemistry Analysis of inorganic compounds. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
