Q. If potassium hexacyanoferrate (III) solution is added to the suspected iron solution,iron (II) ions give precipitate of _____________colour .

Q. Choose the correct answer:
The salt which in solution gives a pale green precipitate with sodium hydroxide solution and a white precipitate with barium chloride solution is:
A. Iron (III) sulphate
B. Iron (II) sulphate
C. Iron (II) chloride
D. Iron (III) chloride

Q. (a) Sodium hydroxide solution can be used to distinguish between (i) Iron (II) sulphate solution and (ii) iron (III) sulphate solution; because these solutions give different coloured precipitates with sodium hydroxide solution. Give the colour of the precipitate formed with each of the solution.
(b) What will you observe when barium chloride solution is added to iron (II) sulphate solution?
(c) How will the action of dilute hydrochloric acid on sodium carbonate and sodium sulphite enables you to distinguish between these two compounds?

Q. Sodium hydroxide solution is added first in a small quantity, then in excess to the aqueous salt solutions of copper (II) sulphate, zinc nitrate, lead nitrate, calcium chloride and iron (III) sulphate. Copy the following table and write the colour of the precipitate in (i) to (v) and the nature of the precipitate (soluble or insoluble) in (vi) to (x).

Aqueous salt Solution	Colour of precipitate when NaOH is added in a small quantity	Nature of precipitate (soluble or insoluble) when NaOH is added in excess
Copper (II) sulphate Zinc nitrate Lead nitrate Calcium chloride Iron (III) sulphate	(i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v)	(vi) (vii) (viii) (ix) (x)

Q. The questions (i) to (v) refer to the following salt solutions listed (a) to (f):
(a) Copper nitrate
(b) Iron (II) sulphate
(c) Iron (III) chloride
(d) Lead nitrate
(e) Magnesium sulphate
