Question

An aqueous solution of a mixture of two inorganic salts, when treated with dilute HCl, gave a precipitate (P) and a filtrate (Q). The precipitate (P) was found to dissolve in hot water. The filtrate (Q) remained unchanged when treated with H2S in a dilute mineral acid medium. However, it gave a precipitate (R) with H2S in an ammoniacal medium. The precipitate R gave a coloured solution (S) when treated with H2O2 in an aqueous NaOH medium.

The precipitate P contains

Solution

The correct option is A

Pb2+


See the following reactions:

Pb+2+2HClPbCl2Phot water−−−−Soluble

Cr3+H2S−−−−−−ammoniacalCr(OH)3pptH2O2−−−NaOHCrO4S

This confirms the presence of lead in precipitate P.
