Question

A solution of a metal ion when treated with $K I$ gives a red precipitate which dissolves in excess $K I$ to give a colorless solution. Moreover, the solution of metal ion on treatment with a solution of cobalt (II) thiocyanate gives rise to a deep-blue crystalline precipitate. The metal ion is :

Solution

The correct option is B $H g^{2 +}$
Option (B) is correct.
The metal ion is $H g^{2 +}$ .
$H g^{2 +} + 2 I^{-} ⟶ H g I_{2} ↓$ (Scarlet red precipitate)

$H g I_{2} + 2 I^{-} ⟶ [H g I_{4}]^{2 -}$

$\begin{matrix} H g^{2 +} & + & C o (S C N)_{2} & ⟶ & H g (S C N)_{2} ↓ & + & C o^{2 +} D e e p b l u e c r y s t a l l i n e \end{matrix}$
