1)

Passing $H_{2}S$ gas into a mixture of $Mn^{2+},Ni^{2+},Cu^{2+}$ and $Hg^{2+}$ ions in an acidified aqueous solution precipitates


A) CuS and HgS

B) MnS and CuS

C) MnS and NiS

D) NiS and HgS

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

In an acidic medium,$H_{2}S$ is very feebly ionized giving very small concentration of sulphide ion for precipitation. Therefore, the most insoluble salts Cus and HgS are precipitated only.
