Q19 / 90 · JEE Main 2018 (16 Apr Online) · Chemistry

The incorrect statement is:

  • A
    Cu2+ ion gives chocolate coloured precipitate with potassium ferrocyanide solution
  • Correct answer
    B
    Cu2+ and Ni2+ ions give black precipitate with H2S in presence of HCl solution
  • C
    Ferric ion gives blood red colour with potassium thiocyanate
  • D
    Cu2+ salts give red coloured borax bead test in reducing flame

Solution

Cu+2 gives black precipitate in presence of dil. HCl Ni+2 ions gives black precipitate in presence of NH4Cl +NH3
with HCl S2- concentration is not just sufficient to overcome the solubility product of NiS.

Cu+2+H2S→dil. HClCu2S↓(black)+2H+

Ni+2+H2S→NH4ClNH4OHNiS↓(black)+2H+
 

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
