Q14 / 48 · JEE Advanced 2025 (Paper 1) · Chemistry

The correct match of the group reagents in List-I for precipitating the metal ion given in List-II from solutions, is
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) $\mathrm{Ba}^{2+}$
(5) $\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\mathrm{P} \rightarrow 3 ; \mathrm{Q} \rightarrow 4 ; \mathrm{R} \rightarrow 2 ; \mathrm{S} \rightarrow 1$
  • 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'.
