    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

    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 and a yellow ppt, it contains \[{{S}_{2}}O_{3}^{2-}\]ion. \[{{S}_{2}}O_{3}^{2-}+2HCl\to \underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  yellow \\  ppt. \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{S\downarrow }}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Pungent \\  smelling  \\  gas \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{S{{O}_{2}}\uparrow }}\,+{{H}_{2}}O+2C{{l}^{-}}\] As it gives green colour to flame, hence contains \[B{{a}^{2+}}\] ion. \[\therefore \]The salt is \[Ba{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]. \[Ba{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+{{K}_{2}}Cr{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  yellow \\  ppt. \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{BaCr{{O}_{4}}}}\,+{{K}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]
