Consider the following reaction:
`X(aq.) overset(K_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)])to ` Chocolate brown ppt.
`X(aq.) overset(AgNO_(3))to`White ppt. (insoluble in dil. `HNO_(3)`)
Then 'X' will be:

A

`ZnSO_(4)`

B

`CuCl_(2)`

C

`FeSO_(4)`

D

`FeCl_(3)`

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reactions given and identify the compound 'X' based on the observations provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the First Reaction**: - The first reaction states that `X(aq)` reacts with `K4[Fe(CN)6]` to produce a chocolate brown precipitate. - Potassium ferrocyanide (`K4[Fe(CN)6]`) typically reacts with certain metal ions to form colored precipitates. The chocolate brown precipitate suggests the presence of copper ions (Cu²⁺), which form a brown precipitate with ferrocyanide. 2. **Understanding the Second Reaction**: - The second reaction states that `X(aq)` reacts with `AgNO3` to produce a white precipitate that is insoluble in dilute `HNO3`. - Silver nitrate (`AgNO3`) reacts with halides (like chloride ions) to form white precipitates. The fact that the precipitate is insoluble in dilute nitric acid indicates that the anion in 'X' is likely a chloride ion (Cl⁻). 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - The options given are: 1. Zinc Sulphate (ZnSO4) 2. Copper Chloride (CuCl2) 3. Iron Sulphate (FeSO4) 4. Iron Chloride (FeCl3) - From the second reaction, we can eliminate Zinc Sulphate and Iron Sulphate, as they do not produce a white precipitate with AgNO3. 4. **Identifying the Suitable Compound**: - The remaining options are Copper Chloride (CuCl2) and Iron Chloride (FeCl3). - Copper Chloride (CuCl2) would produce a chocolate brown precipitate with potassium ferrocyanide due to the presence of Cu²⁺ ions. - Iron Chloride (FeCl3) does not produce a chocolate brown precipitate with potassium ferrocyanide; instead, it would produce a different colored precipitate. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the observations and the reactions analyzed, the compound 'X' must be **Copper Chloride (CuCl2)**, as it meets both criteria of forming a chocolate brown precipitate with potassium ferrocyanide and a white precipitate with silver nitrate. ### Final Answer: **X = Copper Chloride (CuCl2)**

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reactions given and identify the compound 'X' based on the observations provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the First Reaction**: - The first reaction states that `X(aq)` reacts with `K4[Fe(CN)6]` to produce a chocolate brown precipitate. - Potassium ferrocyanide (`K4[Fe(CN)6]`) typically reacts with certain metal ions to form colored precipitates.
