Qualitative Analysis - Result Question 49

####52. A salt mixture consists of a yellow solid (A) and a colourless solid (B). The aqueous solution of the mixture

(i) On passing H2S, we get a black precipitate of (C), which dissolves only in aqua-regia. On extraction and reaction with SnCl2 a greyish white precipitate is obtained.

(ii) On treatment with ammonium hydroxide a reddish brown precipitate (D) is obtained.

The sodium extract of the solution gives the following tests:

(i) On reaction with AgNO3 it gives a yellow precipitate which is insoluble in NH3.

(ii) On shaking with FeCl3 and CCl4 a violet colouration in CCl4 layer is obtained. Mixture on performing flame test gives lilac colour. Identify the compounds (A),(B),(C) and (D).
