Rita was given an unknown salt for identification. She prepared a solution of the salt and divided it into two parts. To the first part of the salt solution, she added a few drops of ammonium hydroxide and obtained a reddish-brown precipitate. To the second part of the salt solution, she added a few drops of silver nitrate solution and obtained a white precipitate. Name: (a) the cation present and (b) the anion present in the salt given for identification.

Identify the cation in each of the following cases: (a) Ammonium hydroxide solution when added to Solution B gives a white precipitate which does not dissolve in excess of ammonium hydroxide solution. (b) Sodium hydroxide solution when added to Solution C gives a white precipitate which is insoluble in excess of sodium hydroxide solution.

Alex was given a solution of an unknown salt Y for analysis. He performed the following tests and recorded his observations: To a part of the solution Y, he added silver nitrate solution and obtained a white precipitate which was soluble in ammonium hydroxide solution. To the remaining solution he added a few drops of sodium hydroxide solution and obtained a pale blue precipitate. Based on the observations made by Alex, identify: (a) the anion and (b) the cation present in salt Y.
