Solution
The correct options are BFe CPb DHg When H2S gas is passed in a zinc sulphate ZnSO4solution in presence of NH4OH, a white precipitate of ZnS is produced.
ZnSO4+H2S→ZnS+H2SO4
The other metal sulfides formed in the reaction are not white in colour.
FeS and PbS form black precipitate while HgS forms red.
