Question

State True or False.

First group basic radicals are precipitated as their chlorides.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The given statement is True.
First group basic radicals ($A{g}^{+},P{b}^{2+}$ and $H{g}_2^{2+}$) are precipitated as their chlorides as the solubility product of their chlorides ($AgCl,PbC{l}_2$ and $H{g}_{2}C{l}_2$) is less than the solubility product of all other chlorides, which thus remain in solution in hot water.
