Question
Salts A, B, C, D, and E undergo reactions (i) to (v) respectively. Identify the anion present in these salts on the basis of these reactions.
- When silver nitrate solution is added to a solution of A, a white precipitate, insoluble in dilute nitric acid, is formed.
- The addition of dilute hydrochloric acid to B produces a gas which turns lead acetate black paper.
- When a freshly prepared solution of ferrous sulphate is added to a solution of C and concentrated sulphuric acid is gently poured from the side of the test-tube, a brown ring is formed.
- When dilute sulphuric acid is added to D, a gas is produced which turns acidified potassium dichromate solution from orange to green.
- The addition of dilute hydrochloric acid to E produces effervescence. The gas produced turns lime water milky but does not affect acidified potassium dichromate solution.
Solution
| Salt | Anion |
| A | Chloride (Cl−) |
| B | Sulphide (S2−) |
| C | Nitrate (NO3−) |
| D | Sulphite (SO32−) |
| E | Carbonate (CO32−) |
