JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 8.3. Organic chemistry purification and characterization

A salt with few drops of conc. HCl gives apple green colour in flame test. The group precipitate of the salt is dissolved in acetic acid and treated with \(K_2CrO_4\) to give yellow precipitate. When the sodium carbonate extract of the salt solution is heated with conc. \(HNO_3\) and ammonium molybdate, it resulted a canary yellow precipitate. The cation and anion present in the salt are respectively,

  1. A \(Ca^{2+}\) and \(SO_4^{2-}\)
  2. B \(Ba^{2+}\) and \(PO_4^{3-}\)
  3. C \(Mn^{2+}\) and \(PO_4^{3-}\)
  4. D \(Ba^{2+}\) and \(SO_4^{2-}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(Ba^{2+}\) and \(PO_4^{3-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

An apple green colour in the flame test indicates the presence of \(Ba^{2+}\) ion. The group precipitate of \(Ba^{2+}\) is \(BaCO_3\), which dissolves in acetic acid to form barium acetate. Upon treatment with \(K_2CrO_4\), it gives a yellow precipitate of barium chromate…
