The carbonate test: dilute nitric acid is added to an unknown solution. If gas is produced, bubble it trough lime water, if the lime water turns cloudy then carbonate ions are present.
The sulfate test: barium nitrate is added to a solution. If a white precipiate forms sulfate ions are present.
The hailde test: silver nitrate is added to a solution. If a white precipitate forms, chloride ions are present. If a cream precipitate forms, bromide ions are present. If a yellow precipitate forms, iodide ions are present.
Silver chloride is soluble in dilute ammonia. Sliver bromide is soluble in concentrated ammonia. Silver iodide is insoluble in concentrated ammonia.
The ammonium test: ammonium ions and sodium hydroxide are heated, producing ammonia gas. If moist pH indicator paper turns blue, ammonia gas is present.
