Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 25. (a)

Solution:

  1. S2+CuCl2CuS (black ppt.)

SO42+CuCl2 Soluble, Thus 

(a) CuCl2 selectively precipitates S2.

(b) S2+BaCl2BaS (soluble)

SO42+BaCl2BaSO4 (white ppt.) 

(b) precipitates SO42 and not S2.

(c) S2+Pb2+PbS (black ppt.)

SO42+Pb2+PbSO4 (white ppt.)

S2 and SO42, both are precipitated.

But no colour with SO42.
