Single correct option
A pale green crystalline salt dissolves in water to give a pale green solution. The solution gives a deep blue precipitate with and a white precipitate with that is insoluble in dilute . contains seven molecules of water of crystallisation per formula unit. A sample of of is strongly heated; the solid residue is a red-brown oxide and the evolved gases, in which and are formed in equal amounts, are passed into an excess of acidified aqueous . Use molar masses (in ) , , , , . The masses of the solid residue and of the white precipitate formed in solution are respectively
- A. and
- B. and
- C. and
- D. and
Show answer and solution
Answer: (D) and
The blue precipitate with shows (Turnbull's blue); the -insoluble white precipitate shows sulphate. So with , i.e. .
Heating: . Moles of , mass . Moles of and of .
In acidified only (giving in water) precipitates (): ; gives only , whose dissolves in acid.
The values count both gases as (wrong); corresponds to (wrong residue); forgets the factor of 2 in the balanced equation. Answer: (D).
