    A salt on treatment with dil.\[HCl\]gives a pungent smelling gas and a yellow precipitate. The salt gives green flame test and a yellow precipitate with potassium chromate the salt is

    A)  \[NiS{{O}_{4}}\]         

    B)  \[Ba{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[Pb{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]         

    D)  \[CuS{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Since, the salt on treatment with dil.\[HCl\] gives a pungent smelling gas\[(S{{O}_{2}})\]and a yellow ppt., it must contain\[{{S}_{2}}O_{3}^{2-}\](thiosulphate ion) and further since it gives green flame test, it must contain\[B{{a}^{2+}}\]ion. Therefore, salt is\[Ba{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\].
