    Precipitation of IV group cations takes place when \[{{H}_{2}}S\]passed is :

    A) less ionised        

    B) highly ionized

    C) not ionised        

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The cation of II group (\[H{{g}^{2+}}+P{{b}^{2+}},B{{i}^{3+}},C{{u}^{2+}}\]etc.) and IV group \[(N{{i}^{2+}},C{{o}^{2+}},M{{n}^{2+}},Z{{n}^{2+}})\] are precipitated as their sulphides. Precipitation of II group cation group require low concentration of sulphide so HCl is added to the original solution before passing \[{{H}_{2}}S\]gas (common ion effect). For precipitation of IV group cations large concentration of \[{{S}^{2-}}\] is required in order that ionic product exceed solubility product NOTE: Solubility product of II group sulphides is less than that of IV group sulphide)
