The correct option(s) to distinguish nitrate salts of M n 2 + and C u 2 + taken separately is (are) (1) M n 2 + shows the characteristic green colour in the flame test (2) only C u 2 + shows the formation of precipitate by passing H 2 S in acidic medium (3) only M n 2 + shows the formation of precipitate by passing H 2 S in faintly basic medium (4) Cu 2 + | Cu has higher reduction potential than Mn 2 + | Mn (measured
Options
- A1, 2
- B1, 3
- C2, 4
- D1, 2, 4
Correct answer
C. 2, 4
Step-by-step solution
A Manganese show pale purple colour in flame test. B C u 2 + → H 2 S H C l C u S ↓ Black ppt. C Both C u 2 + and M n 2 + form precipitate with H 2 S in basic medium. D E Cu 2 + | Cu o = + 0.34 V , E Mn 2 + | Mn o = − 1.18 V
