| LIST - I | LIST - II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (P) | Passing $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$ in the presence of $\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}$ | (1) | $\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}$ |
| (Q) | $\left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2 \mathrm{CO}_3$ in the presence of $\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}$ | (2) | $\mathrm{Al}^{3+}$ |
| (R) | $\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}$ in the presence of $\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{Cl}$ | (3) | $\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}$ |
| (S) | Passing $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}$ in the presence of dilute HCl | (4) | $\mathrm{Ba}^{2+}$ |

- Correct answerA$\mathrm{P} \rightarrow 3 ; \mathrm{Q} \rightarrow 4 ; \mathrm{R} \rightarrow 2 ; \mathrm{S} \rightarrow 1$
- B$\mathrm{P} \rightarrow 4 ; \mathrm{Q} \rightarrow 2 ; \mathrm{R} \rightarrow 3 ; \mathrm{S} \rightarrow 1$
- C$\mathrm{P} \rightarrow 3 ; \mathrm{Q} \rightarrow 4 ; \mathrm{R} \rightarrow 1 ; \mathrm{S} \rightarrow 5$
- D$\mathrm{P} \rightarrow 5 ; \mathrm{Q} \rightarrow 3 ; \mathrm{R} \rightarrow 2 ; \mathrm{S} \rightarrow 4$
Solution
$\mathrm{Mn}^{+2} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}+\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}} \underset{\text { Pink/buff ppt. }}{\mathrm{MnS} \downarrow}$
$\mathrm{Ba}^{+2} \xrightarrow{\left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2 \mathrm{CO}_3+\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}} \underset{\text { White ppt. }}{\mathrm{BaCO}_3 \downarrow}$
$\mathrm{Al}^{+3} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}} \underset{\text { White ppt. }}{\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_3 \downarrow}$
$\mathrm{Cu}^{+2} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}+\mathrm{HCl} \text { (dil.) }} \underset{\text { Black ppt. }}{\mathrm{CuS} \downarrow}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
