An aqueous solution of a mixture of two inorganic salts, when treated with dilute \(H C\) ?, gave a precipitate \((\boldsymbol{P})\) and a filtrate \((\boldsymbol{Q})\). The precipitate \(\boldsymbol{P}\) was found to dissolve in hot water. The filtrate \((\boldsymbol{Q})\) remained unchanged, when treated with \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}\) in a dilute mineral acid medium. However, it gave a precipitate \((\boldsymbol{R})\) with \(H_{2} S\) in an ammoniacal medium. The precipitate \(\boldsymbol{R}\) gave a coloured solution \((\boldsymbol{S})\), when treated with \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\) in an aqueous \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) medium.
