An unknown solid compound is analyzed in the lab to determine its chemical formula. The following observations are recorded.
• When a small quantity of the solid is heated in the flame of a Bunsen burner, a bright orange flame is observed.
• A quantity of the solid is added to water and the solid dissolves.
• When aqueous sodium hydroxide is added to a small amount of the unknown solution there is no visible change to either solution.
• The addition of aqueous barium nitrate to a small volume of the unknown solution results in the formation of a white precipitate.
• The addition of dilute hydrochloric acid to the tube containing the precipitate causes the precipitate to disappear and bubbles of a gas are observed in the tube.
• The addition of aqueous silver nitrate to a volume of the unknown solution causes no visible change.
