For the precipitation of cations of group four in the qualitative analysis, the medium is made alkaline before passing `H_(2)S` gas. The purpose of alkaline solution isA. to supress the ionisation of `H_(2)S`B. to increase the ionisation of `H_(2)S`C. to increase the ionisation of metal saltD. to decrease the ionisation of metal salt. |
Answer» Correct Answer - B `H_(2)S hArr 2H^(+) +S^(-2)` `NH_(4)OH rarr NH_(4)^(+) +OH^(-)` `H^(+)` combines with `OH^(-)` to form water and thus the first equilibrium shifts in the forward direction to increase the ionisation of `H_(2)S`. |
