I did read somewhere once; something like "that since all nitrate salts are soluble in water, it is not possible to detect the presence of the nitrate ion by a precipitatiuon reaction." This does not make sense to me as tests can be performed on salts of (chlorides, sulfites, sulfates, carbonates, hydrogencarbonates), by a precipatation reactions, and all of which ARE soluble.
@1091Floyd21 Baically chlorides sulfites sulfates carbonates and hydrogencarbonates are at any one point insoluble when combined with a positive metal ion. such examples of insoluble salts are
lead(II) chloride, lead (II) sulfite, silver sulfate, iron (II) and Iron (III) carbonate, and iron (II)and Iron (III) hydrogen carbonate. in the case of nitrate, all of its salts are soluble and no precipitates are at all left when any metal ion is combined with a nitrate ion
