A white crystalline substance dissolves in water. On passing H2S in this solution, a black precipitate is obtained. The black precipitate dissolves completely in hot HNO3. On adding few drops of concentrated H2SO4, a white precipitate is obtained which is soluble in ammonium acetate. The white precipitate is that of

Solution

The correct option is D PbSO4
Pb2++H2Sacidic−−PbS(Blackppt.)+H2O

3PbS+8HNO33Pb(NO3)2+2NO+3S+4H2O

3Pb(NO3)2+H2SO4PbSO4(whiteppt.)+2HNO3(aq)

PbSO4+2CH3COONH4(CH3COO)2Pb+(NH4)2SO4

BaS and SrS precipitates are not black in colour. Ag2SO4 is white precipitate but does not dissolve in ammonium acetate.
