NEET2020ChemistryIonic EquilibriumActual
HCl was passed through a solution of CaCl 2 , MgCl 2 and NaCl . Which of the following compound(s) crystallise(s)?
Options
- AOnly NaCl
- BOnly MgCl 2
- CNaCl , MgCl 2 and CaCl 2
- DBoth MgCl 2 and CaCl 2
Correct answer
A. Only NaCl
Step-by-step solution
When HCl is passed thorugh the mixture Cl - ion concentration increases. Hence ionic product Na + Cl - becomes more than solubility product. So NaCl will precipitate out. Filtrate → HCl   gas   passed   pure NaCl precipitation (common ion effect)
