NEETChemistryIonic Equilibrium
Given below are two statements : Statement I : On passing ( HCl _ ( g ) ) through a saturated solution of ( BaCl ₂ ), at room temperature white turbidity appears. Statement II : When ( HCl ) gas is passed through a saturated solution of ( NaCl ), sodium chloride is precipitated due to common ion effect. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- BStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Correct answer
B. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Step-by-step solution
BaCl ₂, NaCl are soluble but on adding HCl ( g ) to BaCl ₂, NaCl solutions, Sodium or Barium chlorides may precipitate out, as a consequence of the law of mass action.
