When a salt is treated with sodium hydroxide solution it gives gas X . On passing gas X through reagent Y a brown coloured precipitate is formed. X and Y respectively, are
Options
- AX = NH ₃ and Y = HgO
- BX = NH ₃ and Y = K ₂ HgI ₄+ KOH
- CX = NH ₄ Cl and Y = KOH
- DX = HCl and Y = NH ₄ Cl
Correct answer
B. X = NH ₃ and Y = K ₂ HgI ₄+ KOH
Step-by-step solution
NH ₄⁺+ NaOH H ₂ O + NH ₃ NH ₃ is identify by K ₂ [ HgI ₄ ]+ KOH
