Q.
A salt on treatment with dil. HCl give: pungent smelling gas and a yellow precipitate The salt gives green flame when tested. The salt solution gives a yellow precipitate with potassium chromate. The salt is
Since the salt on treatment with dil. HCl gives a pungent smelling gas and a yellow ppt, it contains S2O32− ion. S2O32−+2HCl→yellow ppt.S↓+Pungent smelling gasSO2↓+H2O+2Cl−
As it gives green colour to flame, hence contains Ba2+ ion. ∴ The salt is BaS2O3. BaS2O3+K2CrO4→yellow ppt.BaCrO4+K2S2O3
