Merck Silicate Acid Test, Packaging Type: Box

The Silicate Acid Test is a chemical test used to detect the presence of silicate ions (SiO32-) in a solution. Here's a brief overview:Test Procedure:1. Add a few drops of molybdic acid (H2MoO4) to the solution containing silicate ions.2. Observe the formation of a yellow precipitate or color change.Principle:Molybdic acid reacts with silicate ions to form a yellow-colored silicomolybdate complex.SiO32- + H2MoO4 → Yellow silicomolybdate complex
