The procedure for testing the sample and running the exam paper. Take a 10 mm piece of the collection paper. The metal particles are acid-dissolved in the microwave for 45 seconds. The paper is then neutralized with a basic substance and placed on top of the test paper. Adding water to the test paper causes the ionized metals to move to the detection points on the paper, where they are attached From the beginning of the desired reactants for identification using a color change Photo: American Chemical Society
