how to go about salt analysis and analytical chemistry?

how to learn.....wow wat a question!!!!!!!!!!!

well recently i have become a master in this subject very surprisingly though...

what i did was i prepared a very small(not too small tho) about this subject

i wrote down systematically the various experiments to be conducted like as follows:
1)dry t.t heating:observations and inferences
2)solubility tests
3)test with conc H₂SO₄...(a small trick:wether or not i get any results 4m this i heat the contents with Cu filings) and also i heat the sample for this test until the t.t breaks...i think this is one of the best exp 4m which one can expect good results

4)then goes dil. H₂SO₄...one of the meaningless tests according to me
5)for colourless salts flame test
6)for coloured salts borax bead test

then there are other tests for confirmation of acid and basic radicals....

whatever hope is there to find out the sample gets thwarted unless we get something out of the preliminary tests....also the key towards success is to work fast and patiently also carefully

after putting down all reqd things in a copy whati did was keep this copy for ready reference whenever i did salt analysis

jotting down the points after each experiment in the same copy also increases the chances of success in experiments to follow

DO NOT try to memorize or mug up just keep on practising until it gets into your head tightly......then u r its master![1]
