During the qualitative analysis of salts using dilute acids, various gases are evolved which are identified by their specific confirmatory tests. Match the gases evolved in List I with their characteristic confirmatory tests in List II.

List I (Gas Evolved)List II (Characteristic Test)
ACO2CO_21Turns acidified K2Cr2O7K_2Cr_2O_7 paper green
BH2SH_2S2Turns lead acetate paper black
CSO2SO_23Turns starch-iodide paper blue
DNO2NO_24Turns lime water milky

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AA-4, B-1, C-2, D-3
  2. BA-4, B-2, C-1, D-3
  3. CA-1, B-2, C-4, D-3
  4. DA-4, B-3, C-1, D-2

Correct answer

B. A-4, B-2, C-1, D-3

Step-by-step solution

A. CO2CO_2 gas turns lime water milky due to the formation of insoluble calcium carbonate (CaCO3CaCO_3).
Ca(OH)2+CO2→CaCO3↓+H2OCa(OH)_2 + CO_2 \rightarrow CaCO_3 \downarrow + H_2O
Thus, A matches with 4.

B. H2SH_2S gas turns lead acetate paper black due to the formation of black lead sulfide (PbSPbS).
(CH3COO)2Pb+H2S→PbS↓+2CH3COOH(CH_3COO)_2Pb + H_2S \rightarrow PbS \downarrow + 2CH_3COOH
Thus, B matches with 2.

C. SO2SO_2 gas turns acidified potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7K_2Cr_2O_7) paper green because it reduces Cr6+Cr^{6+} (orange) to Cr3+Cr^{3+} (green).
K2Cr2O7+3SO2+H2SO4→K2SO4+Cr2(SO4)3+H2OK_2Cr_2O_7 + 3SO_2 + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow K_2SO_4 + Cr_2(SO_4)_3 + H_2O
Thus, C matches with 1.

D. NO2NO_2 gas acts as an oxidizing agent and oxidizes iodide ions to iodine, which turns starch-iodide paper blue.
2NO2+2KI→2KNO2+I22NO_2 + 2KI \rightarrow 2KNO_2 + I_2
I2+starch→blue complexI_2 + \text{starch} \rightarrow \text{blue complex}
Thus, D matches with 3.

The correct matching is A-4, B-2, C-1, D-3.

Answer: A-4, B-2, C-1, D-3
