Question

Consider the following statements ;
S1 : white fumes of boric acid are evolved if borax is heated with concentrated H2SO4.
S2 : Pb2+ and Ag+ ions (from concentrated solutions) both give white precipitate with Cl- ions.
S3 : dilute H2SO4 decomposes both carbonates and bicarbonates liberating CO2 gas.
S4 : Silver nitrate solution gives white precipitate with soluble sulphites.
and arrange in the order of true / false.

Options

A.T T T T
B.T F T F
C.F T F T
D.F F F F

Solution

S1 : Na2B4O7 + H2SO4 + 5H2O → 4H3BO3­ ↑(white fumes) + 2Na+ + SO42-
S2 : Ag+ + Cl- → AgCl ↓ (white) Pb2+ + 2Cl- →  PbCl2↓ (white)
S3 : CO32- + 2H+ → CO2↑ + H2O
S4 : Ag+ + SO32-  → Ag2SO3 ↓ (white)
