green
Fe2+ + MnO4– → Fe2O3 + Mn+2

2. A solid compound X on heating gives CO2 gas and residue. The residue mixed with water forms Y. On passing
excess of CO2 through Y, a clear solution Z is obtained. On boiling Z, compound X is reformed. The compound
‘X’ is
(1) Ca(HCO3) (2) K2CO3 (3) Na2CO3 (4) CaCO3
Sol. Answer (4)

3. In group separation process before precipitating out group III metal ions as hydroxides, it is necessary to boil
the solution of the salt mixture with a few milliliters of concentrated HNO3 . This is done to convert
(1) Co+2 to Co+3 (2) Fe+2 to Fe+3 (3) Mn+2 to MnO4– (4) Cr+3 to CrO4–2
Sol. Answer (2)
This is usually done to convert Fe+2 to Fe+3 because Fe+3 hydroxide is insoluble which can be separated to
a large extent from relatively more soluble Fe(OH)2.
Ksp (Fe(OH)3) ≈ 1.6 × 10–39 and
Ksp (Fe(OH)2) ≈ 8 × 10–16

11. The sulphides of some metal given in List I and their Ksp value is given in List II. What will be the correct option
List- I List- II
I CuS p 1.6×10–54
–23
II CaS q 2.5×10
–37
III HgS r 8×10
IV ZnS s 8×10

CaS is soluble so has highest solubility product. CuS remain precipitated in presence of HCl but not ZnS. So CuS
have less solubility product than ZnS. HgS has minimum solubility product. Then the solubility order of these
sulphides are CaS > ZnS > CuS > HgS and hence the Ksp value order of Ksp
CaS > ZnS > CuS> HgS

Only Mg2+ is placed in 6th group.
6. During detection of P, we get canary yellow ppt on addition of ammonium molybdate. The number of element
in sp3 hybridisation from 15th group is __________.
Sol. Answer (4)
(NH4)3PO4 . 12MoO3
7. How many cation on reaction with NaOH form white ppt. that is insoluble in excess of NaOH?
Cd2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Ag+, Hg22+, Pb2+
Sol. Answer (1)
Only Cd2+
Cd2 + + OH−

Cd(OH)2 ↓
8. Solution of following cations is treated with excess of NaOH, the number of diamagnetic cations which form
soluble complex is x.
Pb2+, Sn2+, Al3+, Fe2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Cr3+, Ni2+ .
The value of 3x will be
Sol. Answer (12)
Pb2+, Sn2+, Al3+, Zn2+, Cr3+ are soluble in excess reagent but Cr+3 is paramagnetic.
So, x = 4
3x = 12
9. Out of the following X is number of salt which have yellow or orange colour precipitates. Then value of
x2 is
CdS, ZnS, As2S3, As2S5, CoS, BaCO3, PbS, Cu(CN) 2, AgI, PbI2
Sol. Answer (36)
x = 6, x2 = 36
CdS → Yellow, As2S3 → Yellow, As2S5 → Yellow,PbI2 – Yellow,
Cu(CN)2 → Yellow, AgI → Yellow
10. An aqueous solution contains Hg2+, Hg 22+, Pb2+ and Cd2+. Out of these, how many ions will produce
white precipitate with dilute HCl?
Sol. Answer (2)
Hg22+ and Pb2+ form white ppt.

Principles of Qualitative Analysis

FeCl2 + aq NaOH → Fe(OH)2

Fe2+ + MnO4– → Fe2O3 + Mn+2

5. Which of the following statement is correct

Tube-I Tube-II Tube-III

White ppt and no visible

7. The correct statements about the given reaction scheme is

Na 2 S + Na 2 Fe (CN)5 NO  ⎯⎯→ Purple (A)

(1) The oxidation state of iron in purple coloured compound is +2

(3) Compound B is CdS

(4) Both (1) and (3) are correct

Sol. Answer (4)

→ CdS is yellow solid.

(1) Fe+3 + SCN– (2) Fe+2 + K3[Fe(CN)6]

(3) Ni+2 + DMG + NH4OH (4) Ag+ + Na2CrO4

Sol. Answer (2)

Ni+2 + DMG + NH4OH → Cherry red ppt

Ag+ + Na2 CrO 4 ⎯⎯
