Solution

The correct option is A CuCl2
S2+CuCl2CuS(black ppt)SO24+CuCl2CuSO4(soluble)
Thus, CuCl2 selectively precipitates S2.

S2+BaCl2BaS(soluble)SO24+CuCl2BaSO4(white ppt)
Thus, BaCl2 selectively precipitates SO24.

S2+Pb2+PbS(black ppt)SO24+Pb2+PbSO4(white ppt)
S2 and SO24 both are precipitated.

S2+Na2[Fe(CN)5NO]Sodium nitroprussideNa2[Fe(CN)5NOS]Violet colourBut no colour with SO24.
