The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the behavior of the two mercury ions, \( \text{Hg}_2^{2+} \) and \( \text{Hg}^{2+} \), in the presence of potassium iodide (KI) and other reagents mentioned in the options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction with KI:** - When an aqueous solution containing either \( \text{Hg}_2^{2+} \) or \( \text{Hg}^{2+} \) is treated with KI, a green precipitate is formed. This green precipitate is identified as \( \text{Hg}_2I_2 \). 2. **Determine the Ion Present:** - The formation of \( \text{Hg}_2I_2 \) indicates that the solution contains \( \text{Hg}_2^{2+} \) ions. This is because \( \text{Hg}^{2+} \) would typically form a different precipitate (like \( \text{HgI}_2 \)). 3. **Evaluate Each Option:** - **Option A:** "It contains \( \text{Hg}_2^{2+} \)" - This is correct since the green precipitate indicates the presence of \( \text{Hg}_2^{2+} \). - **Option B:** "It contains \( \text{Hg}^{2+} \)" - This is incorrect because the green precipitate formation indicates that \( \text{Hg}^{2+} \) is not present. - **Option C:** "It reacts with ammonia to give a black precipitate" - This is correct. \( \text{Hg}_2^{2+} \) reacts with ammonia to form metallic mercury (Hg) which is black. - **Option D:** "With NaCl solution gives a white precipitate" - This is also correct. \( \text{Hg}_2^{2+} \) reacts with NaCl to form \( \text{Hg}_2Cl_2 \), which is white. 4. **Conclusion:** - The only incorrect statement is Option B, which claims the solution contains \( \text{Hg}^{2+} \). ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement about the given aqueous solution is **Option B**.
