When \(\mathrm{BaCl}_{2}\) is added to an aqueous salt solution, a white precipitate is obtained. The anion among \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}, \mathrm{SO}_{3}^{2-}\) and \(\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\) that was present in the solution can be

  1. A \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}\) but not any of the other two
  2. B \(S O_{3}^{2-}\) but not any of the other two
  3. C \(\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\) but not any of the other two
  4. D Any of them
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Any of them

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because\) If \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}, \mathrm{SO}_{3}^{2-}\) and \(\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\) are present alongwith \(\mathrm{BaCl}_{2}\), these can also show white precipitate (as precipitate of all these are also white ).
