Match List-I with List-II concerning the preliminary tests of anions using dilute H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4.

List-I (Anion)List-II (Observation)
(A) Carbonate (CO32−\text{CO}_3^{2-})(I) Reddish-brown gas
(B) Sulphide (S2−\text{S}^{2-})(II) Suffocating smell of burning sulphur
(C) Sulphite (SO32−\text{SO}_3^{2-})(III) Brisk effervescence
(D) Nitrite (NO2−\text{NO}_2^{-})(IV) Rotten egg smell

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. A(A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
  2. B(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
  3. C(A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
  4. D(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Correct answer

B. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

Step-by-step solution

When treated with dilute H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4:

Carbonate (CO32−\text{CO}_3^{2-}) gives CO2\text{CO}_2 gas which produces brisk effervescence.

Sulphide (S2−\text{S}^{2-}) gives H2S\text{H}_2\text{S} gas which has a characteristic rotten egg smell.

Sulphite (SO32−\text{SO}_3^{2-}) gives SO2\text{SO}_2 gas which has a suffocating smell of burning sulphur.

Nitrite (NO2−\text{NO}_2^{-}) gives NO2\text{NO}_2 gas which is a reddish-brown gas.

Therefore, the correct match is (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I).

Answer: (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
