Passing \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\) gas into a mixture of \(\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}, \mathrm{Ni}^{2+}, \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Hg}^{2+}\) ions in an acidified aqueous solution precipitates

  1. A \(\mathrm{CuS}\) and \(\mathrm{HgS}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{MnS}\) and \(\mathrm{CuS}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{MnS}\) and \(\mathrm{NiS}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{NiS}\) and \(\mathrm{HgS}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{CuS}\) and \(\mathrm{HgS}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In acidic medium, \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\) is very feebly ionized giving very small concentration of sulphide ion for precipitation. Therefore, the most insoluble salts \(\mathrm{CuS}\) and \(\mathrm{HgS}\) are precipitated only.
