Chemistry - Salt Analysis Question with Solution | TestHub
Consider the following reaction.
How many of the following statement are correct?
(1) Gas A does not react with sodium nitro prusside in basic medium.
(2) Gas A is identified by reaction with lead acetate.
(3) Gas A gives white PPT after reacting with aq. .
(4) Gas A after reacting with moist gives yellow turbidity.
(5) Gas A is also formed by reaction of with .
Answer:
Solution:
Na₂SO₄ + C Na₂S
So gas/species A is related to the sulfide ion , which gives a purple color with sodium nitroprusside and a yellow precipitate with
Now check statements:
False — Sulfide reacts with sodium nitroprusside in a basic medium, giving a purple colour.
True — is identified by lead acetate paper (black ).
True — gives a white precipitate with due to sulfur formation.
True — (yellow turbidity).
False — does not produce
Hence, total correct statements:
