In presence of \( \mathrm{HCl}, \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S} \) results the precipitation of Group-2 elements but not Gp-4
elements during qualitative analysis. It is due to

  1. A higher concentration of \( S^{2} \)
  2. B higher concentration of \( H^{+} \)
  3. C lower concentration of \( S^{2-} \)
  4. D lower concentration of \( H^{+} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) lower concentration of \( S^{2-} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Dissociation of \( \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S} \) is suppressed in presence of \( \mathrm{HCl} \) due to common ion effect. This decreases the \( \mathrm{S}^{2-} \) ion
concentration and hence, only Group II radicals having low solubility product are precipitated.
