    A) \[CrO_{4}^{2-}\]

    B) \[PO_{4}^{3-}\]

    C) \[MnO_{4}^{-}\]

    D) \[NH_{4}^{+}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Nessler?s reagent gives red precipitate with \[NH_{4}^{+}\] \[N{{H}_{4}}Cl+2{{K}_{2}}[Hg{{I}_{4}}]+4KOH\to \]\[\underset{\text{Iodide of Millon }\!\!'\!\!\text{ s base  (Brown ppt)}}{\mathop{N{{H}_{2}}-Hg-O-Hg-I}}\,+\ 7KI\ +\ KCl\ +\ 3{{H}_{2}}O\]
