Question
A metal salt solution forms a yellow precipitate with potassium chromate in acetic acid, a white precipitate with dilute sulphuric acid, but gives no precipitate with sodium chloride or iodide, it is :
Options
A.lead carbonate
B.basic lead carbonate
C.barium carbonate
D.strontium carbonate
Solution
Ba2+ + CrO42- → BaCrO4↓ (yelllow) ; Ba2+ + SO4 → BaSO4 (white).
Ba2+ + 2Cl- → BaCl2 (soluble in water).
Ksp of SrCrO4 is high in acetic acid, so no precipitate is formed.
Lead carbonate and basic lead carbonate both gives precipitate with K2CrO4 and NaCl.
