Experiment Observation Anion detected
Solid salt + dil. H2SO4 A. Effervescence of colourless and odourless gas which turns lime water milky. (II) CO32- is confirmed.
B. Colourless gas with rotten egg smell and turns lead acetate paper black. (III) S2- is confirmed.
C. Colourless gas with pungent smell. Heat and pass the gas through acidified K2Cr2O7 solution. (IV) SO32- is confirmed.
D. Colourless gas followed by brown gas (Brown fumes) and it turns ferrous sulphate solution black. (I) NO2- is confirmed.

 



Q 4 :    

During the preparation of Mohr’s salt solution (Ferrous ammonium sulphate), which of the following acid is added to prevent hydrolysis of Fe2+ ion?     [2024]

  • Dilute hydrochloric acid

     

  • Concentrated sulphuric acid

     

  • Dilute nitric acid

     

  • Dilute sulphuric acid

     

(4)

Dilute sulphuric acid is typically added to aqueous solution of Mohr's salt in order to prevent the hydrolysis of ferrous sulphate.
