In this video, I will demonstrate how to carry out the test for an unknown cation using sodium hydroxide

Observation: White ppt forms, soluble in excess sodium hydroxide, forming a colourless solution
Conclusion: Zinc ion is present in unknown solution

NOTE:
Aluminium ion and Lead(II) ion will give identical results
