Find the compound ' A ' from the following reaction sequences. A aqua-regia B [ (2) AcOH ] (1) KNO ₂ NH ₄ OH yellow ppt
Options
- ACoS
- BZnS
- CNiS
- DMnS
Correct answer
A. CoS
Step-by-step solution
Compound (A) in the given reaction sequence is likely to be CoS. aligned CoS + HNO ₃+3 HCl Co ²⁺ & + S + NOCl & +2 Cl ⁻+2 H ₂ O aligned The above solution is neutralised with NH ₄ OH . To a neutral solution of Co ²⁺ , acetic acid and saturated solution of KNO ₂ are added which results in the formation of yellow precipitate of K ₃ [ Co ( NO ₂ )₆ ] Co ²⁺+7 NO ₂⁻+2 H ⁺+3 ~K ⁺ K ₃ [ Co ( NO ₂ )₆ ]+ NO + H ₂ O
