Upon treatment with ammoniacal H 2 S , the metal ion that precipitates as a sulphide is
Options
- AFe III
- BAl III
- CMg II
- DZn II
Correct answer
D. Zn II
Step-by-step solution
Among Fe 3+ , Al 3+ , Mg 2+ and Zn 2+ , only Zn 2+ is precipitated with ammoniacal H 2 S as ZnS. The group III metal ions, in presence of NH 4 OH when H 2 S is bubbled through filtrate Ni 2 + , Co 2 + and Zn 2 + are precipitated as sulphides.
