In presence of ( HCl , H ₂ ~S ) results the precipitation of Group-2 elements but not Gp-4 elements during qualitative analysis. It is due to
Options
- Ahigher concentration of ( S² )
- Bhigher concentration of ( H⁺ )
- Clower concentration of ( S²⁻ )
- Dlower concentration of ( H⁺ )
Correct answer
C. lower concentration of ( S²⁻ )
Step-by-step solution
Dissociation of ( H ₂ ~S ) is suppressed in presence of ( HCl ) due to common ion effect. This decreases the ( S ²⁻ ) ion concentration and hence, only Group II radicals having low solubility product are precipitated.
