Describe chemical tests for the presence of water using anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride and anhydrous copper(II) sulfate

Describe tests to identify the anions: (a) carbonate, CO3^2-, by reaction with dilute acid and then testing for carbon dioxide gas (b) chloride, Cl^-, bromide, Br^-, and iodide, I^-, by acidifying with dilute nitric acid then adding aqueous silver nitrate (c) nitrate, NO3^-, by reduction with aluminium foil and aqueous sodium hydroxide and then testing for ammonia gas (d) sulfate, SO4^2-, by acidifying with dilute nitric acid then adding aqueous barium nitrate (e) sulfite, SO3^2-, by reaction with acidified aqueous potassium manganate(VII)

State the source of each of these air pollutants: (a) carbon dioxide from the complete combustion of carbon-containing fuels (b) carbon monoxide and particulates from the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels (c) methane from the decomposition of vegetation and waste gases from digestion in animals (d) oxides of nitrogen from car engines (e) sulfur dioxide from the combustion of fossil fuels which contain sulfur compounds
