Q16 / 57 · JEE Advanced 2021 (Paper 1) · Chemistry

A mixture of two salts is used to prepare a solution S, which gives the following results:

White precipitates only←Room temperatureDilute NaOH(aq)Saq. solution of the salts→Room temperatureDilute HClaqWhite precipitates only

The correct option s for the salt mixture is(are)

  • Correct answer
    A
    PbNO32 and ZnNO32
  • Correct answer
    B
    PbNO32 and BiNO33
  • C
    AgNO3 and BiNO33
  • D
    PbNO32 and HgNO32

Solution

Pb2+→dil.HClPbCl2(white precipitate)

Pb2+→dil.NaOHPbOH2(white precipitate)

Bi3+→dil HClBiCl3(water-soluble)

Bi3+→dil. NaOHBiOH3(white precipitate)

Hg2+→dil.HClHgCl2(water-soluble)

Hg2+→dil. NaOHHgOH2(yellow precipitate)

Ag+→dil. HClAgCl(white precipitate)

Ag+→dil. NaOHAgOH(brown precipitate)

Zn2+→dil. HClZnCl2(water-soluble)

Zn2+→dil .NaOHZnOH2(white precipitate)

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B'.
