Question

The pair(s) of ions where BOTH the ions are precipitated upon passing H2S gas in presence of dilute HCl, is(are)

Options

A.Ba2+, Zn2+
B.Bi3+, Fe3+
C.Cu2+, Pb2+
D.Hg2+, Bi3+

Solution

(A) Ba+2 No ppt [because BaS is soluble in water]
Zn+2 No ppt [because Zn+2 form ZnS in ammonical solution (IV group)
(large Ksp of ZnS)]
(B) Bi3+ Bi2S3 ↓ [Bi3+ is II group cation
                         Brown/black ppt
Fe+3 Fe+2 + S [because in acidic solution Fe+3 show redox reaction with H2S]
(C) Cu+2 CuS↓ [Cu+2 is II group cation]
                         black ppt
Pb2+ PbS↓ [Pb2+ is also II group cation]
                         black ppt
(D) Hg2+ HgS↓ [Hg2+ is II group cation]
black ppt
Bi3+ Bi2S3↓ [Bi3+ II group cation]
black/brown ppt
