Question

(i) A black coloured compound (B) is formed on passing hydrogen sulphide through the solution of a compound (A) in NH4OH.
(ii) (B) on treatment with hydrochloric acid and potassium chlorate gives (A).
(iii) (A) on treatment with potassium cyanide gives a buff coloured precipitate which dissolves in excess of this reagent forming a compound (C).
(iv) The compound (C) is changed into a compound (D) when its aqueous solution is boiled.
(v) The solution of (A) is treated with excess of sodium bicarbonate and then bromine water. On cooling and shaking for sometime, a green colour of compound (E) is formed. No change is observed on heating.

Solution

The correct option is E MgCl2andMgNO3
(i) CoS (a black coloured compound) is formed on passing hydrogen sulphide through the solution of CoCl2 in NH4OH.
CoCl2+H2S+2NH4OHCoSblack+2NH4Cl+2H2O
(ii) CoS on treatment with hydrochloric acid and potassium chlorate gives CoCl2.
CoS+KClO3+2HClCoCl2+S+H2O
(iii) CoCl2 on treatment with potassium cyanide gives a buff coloured precipitate which dissolves in excess of this reagent forming a compound K4[Co(CN)6].
CoCl2+2KCNCo(CN)2buff coloured+2KCl
Co(CN)2+4KCNK4[Co(CN)6soluble]
(iv) The compound K4[Co(CN)6] is changed into a compound K3[Co(CN)6] when its aqueous solution is
boiled.
2K4[Co(CN)6]+H2O+O2K3[Co(CN)6]+2KOH
(v) The solution of CoCl2 is treated with excess of sodium bicarbonate and then bromine water. On cooling and shaking for sometime, a green colour of compound Na3[Co(CO3)3] is formed.
No change is observed on heating.
