Question

An aqueous solution of salt (A), gives white crystalline precipitate (B) with NaCl solution. The filtrate gives a black precipitate (C) when H2S is passed through it. Compound (B) is dissolves in hot water and the solution gives a yellow precipitate (D) on treating with NaI and cooling. The compound (A) does not give any gas with dilute HCl but liberates reddish brown gas on heating.

Compound (B) is:

Solution

The correct option is C PbCl2
Since the crystalline compound (B) dissolves in hot water and gives a yellow precipitate with NaI, it should be lead chloride, PbCl2 and the solution (A) consists a lead salt.
PbCl2+2NaIPbI2+2NaCl
(B, white ppt.) (D, yellow ppt)

The compound (A) does not give any gas with dilute HCl but liberates a reddish brown gas on heating, it should be lead nitrate, Pb(NO3)2.
2Pb(NO3)22PbO+2NO2+O2
(A) (reddish brown gas)

Lead chloride is sparangly soluble in water. When H2S is passed, it gives a black precipitate of lead sulphide, PbS.
PbCl2+H2SPbS+2HCl
(C, black ppt)
