Question
A solution containing several unknown cations is treated with dil. HCl and a ppt. forms. The ppt. is filtered and the filtrate at pH 1.0 is treated with H2S, no ppt. forms. At pH 8.0,H2S causes the formation of a ppt., the filtrate from which gives no ppt. on treatment with Na2CO3. Which group of cations are present in the original solution?
