The correct Answer is:
To determine which reagent can dissolve the precipitate of HgS (mercury(II) sulfide), we will analyze each of the given options step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Precipitate**: - HgS is a black precipitate formed from the reaction of mercury ions (Hg²⁺) with sulfide ions (S²⁻). 2. **Option 1: NH3 Solution**: - When HgS reacts with NH3, it does not dissolve. Instead, it remains as a precipitate. - **Reaction**: HgS + NH3 → No reaction (precipitate remains). - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 3. **Option 2: Concentrated HCl**: - When HgS is treated with concentrated HCl, it reacts to form HgCl2 and H2S, but HgS remains as a precipitate. - **Reaction**: HgS + 2HCl → HgCl2 + H2S (precipitate remains). - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 4. **Option 3: Concentrated HNO3**: - Concentrated HNO3 reacts with HgS to form mercury(II) nitrate, sulfuric acid, and nitrogen dioxide, but HgS remains as a precipitate. - **Reaction**: 3HgS + 8HNO3 → 3Hg(NO3)2 + 2H2SO4 + 4NO2 + 4H2O (precipitate remains). - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 5. **Option 4: Na2S Solution**: - When HgS is treated with Na2S, it forms a soluble complex, Na2HgS2, which indicates that HgS can dissolve in this solution. - **Reaction**: HgS + Na2S → Na2HgS2 (HgS dissolves). - **Conclusion**: This option is correct. ### Final Answer: The reagent that can dissolve the precipitate of HgS is **Na2S solution**.

To determine which reagent can dissolve the precipitate of HgS (mercury(II) sulfide), we will analyze each of the given options step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Precipitate**: - HgS is a black precipitate formed from the reaction of mercury ions (Hg²⁺) with sulfide ions (S²⁻). 2. **Option 1: NH3 Solution**: ...
