Question
H2S in the presence of HCl precipitates II group but not IV group because :
Options
A.HCl activates H2S
B.HCl increases concentration of Cl-
C.HCl decreases concentration of S2-
D.HCl lowers the solubility of H2S in solution
Solution
H2S ⇋ 2H+ + S2- ; HCl ⇋ H2+ + Cl-.
Due to common ion effect, the ionisation of H2S is suppressed and thus low concentration of S2- ions is obtained. This much of S2- ions concentration is enough to precipitate only IInd group cations (because of the low KSP of IInd group sulphides).
