Dolute nitric acid is generally not used for the preparation of original solution for the basic radicals because it :A. it is a reducing agentB. it is an oxidising agentC. forms insoluble nitratesD. forms soluble nitrates |

Answer» Correct Answer - B In the second group of basic radicals, `H_(2)S` gas is passed through the solution. In case, the original solution is prepared in dilute `HNO_(3)` then `H_(2)S` will be oxidised to sulphur which will appear as a yellow precipitate or yellow turbidity. `2HNO_(3) rarr H_(2)O + 2NO_(2) + O` `H_(2)S + O rarr H_(2)O + S` This will interfere with the detection of `Cd^(2+)` and `As^(3+)` ions which also form yellow precipitates of CdS and `As_(2)S_(3)` respectively |
