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?
Give your answer as a number with digits as the group number (in ascending order).

Solution

Since group, I cations reacts with dilute HCl to give a precipitate and cations of group II react with H2S to give a precipitate in acidic medium.
Group III cations give precipitate on reacting with H2S in ammonia medium and group IV cations react with Na2CO3 to give a precipitate.
Therefore, cations of group I and group III are present in the original solution.
