Testing For Positive Ions - part 2

The video tutorial explains how to test for the presence of transition metal ions and the ammonium ion. It covers the use of flame tests for Group 1, Group 2, and Copper 2+ ions, and the addition of sodium hydroxide to identify transition metal ions by the color of the precipitate formed. Specific reactions of copper, iron, and zinc ions are discussed, including the oxidation of iron hydroxide. The tutorial also covers testing non-transition metal ions like calcium, aluminum, and magnesium, and methods to detect ammonium ions using ammonia formation and litmus paper.
