Which pair of ions among the following can be separated by precipitation method?

  1. A Eu(II) and Dy(III)
  2. B Gd(III) and Dy(III)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Eu}(\mathrm{II})\) and \(\mathrm{Yb}(\mathrm{II})\)
  4. D Eu(II) and Gd(II)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Eu(II) and Gd(II)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{Eu}^{+2}\) and \(\mathrm{yb}^{2+}\) have unique property \& show similarity with \(\mathrm{Sr}^{+2}\). Hence \(\mathrm{EuSO}_4\) is insoluble like \(\mathrm{SrSO}_4\) & other lanthanide ions remains unaffected in solution.…
