What other means of qualitative analysis are used to identify metals(at least five)

The use of spectrum(Flame taste)

Chemical reaction

The use of indicators

Mass spectrometry

By bombarding with cathode rays(this method was used by Mosley to search for atomic number of each element)

Explanation:

1.   Insoluble Chlorides

2.  Acid-Insoluble Sulfides

3.  Base-Insoluble Sulfides (and Hydroxides)

4.  Insoluble Carbonates or Phosphates

5.  Alkali Metals

In qualitative analysis, the identity, not the amount, of metal ions present in a mixture is determined. The technique consists of selectively precipitating only a few kinds of metal ions at a time under given sets of conditions. Consecutive precipitation steps become progressively less selective until almost all the metal ions are precipitated.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
