Question

Two solid laboratory reagents (A) and (B) gives the following reactions:
Compound (A):
(i) on strongly heating gives two oxides of sulphur
(ii) on adding aqueous NaOH solution to its aqueous solution, a dirty green precipitate is obtained which starts turning brown on exposure to air
Compound (B) :
(iii) imparts green colour to the flame
(iv) Its solution does not give a precipitate on passing H2S
(v) When it is heated with solid K2Cr2O7 and concentrated H2SO4, a red gas is evolved. The gas when passed in an aq NaOH solution turns it yellow
Compound (A) and (B) are identified as FeSO4 and BaCl2.
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Solution

The compound (A) is ferrous sulphate FeSO4 and the compound (B) is barium chloride, BaCl2.
(i) On strongly heating, ferrous sulphate forms ferric oxide, sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide.
2FeSO4Fe2O3+SO2+SO3
(ii) Ferrous sulphate reacts with sodium hydroxide solution to form green ferrous hydroxide.
FeSO4+2NaOHFeOH2green+Na2SO4
On exposure to air, ferrous ions are oxidized to ferric ions.
2Fe(OH)2+H2O+O2(air)2Fe(OH)3
(iii) Green colour to flame is due to presence of Ba(II) ions.
Barium chloride does not form precipitate with hydrogen sulphide.
(V) barium chlorid gives chromyl chloride test.
2BaCl2+3H2SO4+K2Cr2O7Δ2CrO2Cl2yellow chromyl chloride+3BaSO4+3H2OCrO2Cl2+4NaOHNa2CrO4yellow sodium chromate+2NaCl+2H2O
