Q7 / 75 · JEE Main 2026 (24 January Shift 2) · Chemistry
In the Group analysis of cations, $\mathrm{Ba}^{2+} ~\&~ \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ are precipitated respectively as
- Asulphide & sulphide
- Bchromate & sulphide
- Correct answerCcarbonate & carbonate
- Dhydroxide & carbonate
Solution
In Group V of cation analysis, both Ba²⁺ and Ca²⁺ are precipitated by adding Na₂CO₃ or (NH₄)₂CO₃ solution. Ba²⁺ precipitates as BaCO₃ (white precipitate) and Ca²⁺ precipitates as CaCO₃ (white precipitate). Both form insoluble carbonates under these conditions, making the answer carbonate & carbonate.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
