####90. gas when passed through a solution of cations containing , precipitates the cations of second group of qualitative analysis but not those belonging to the fourth group. It is because
[2005]
(a) presence of decreases the sulphide ion concentration.
(b) solubility product of group II sulphides is more than that of group IV sulphides.
(c) presence of increases the sulphide ion concentration.
(d) sulphides of group IV cations are unstable in .

Solution:
- (a) group needs higher ion concentration.
In presence of , the dissociation of decreases hence produces less amount of sulphide ions due to common ion effect, thus decreases the solubility of which is sufficient to precipitate group radicals.
