`Light green (Compound 'A') overset(Delta)(rarr)White Residue '(B)' underset("Temp")overset("High")(rarr)C+D+E`
`i)` 'D' and 'E' are two acidic gases.
ii) 'D' is passed through `HgCl_(2)` solution to give yellow pt.
`iii)` 'E' is passed through water first and then `H_(2)S` is passed, white turbidity is obtained.
`iv)` A is water soluble and addition of `HgCl_(2)` in it, white ppt is obtained but white ppt does not turn into grey on addition of excess solution of 'A'.
Yellow ppt in the above observation is

A

Mercuric oxide

B

Basic mercury(II) sulphite

C

Basic mercury (II) sulphate

D

Mercuric iodine

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question step-by-step, we need to analyze the information given and deduce the identities of the compounds involved: ### Step 1: Identify Compound A - **Observation**: Compound A is light green in color. - **Conclusion**: The light green compound is likely hydrated ferrous sulfate, which is represented as \( \text{FeSO}_4 \cdot 7 \text{H}_2\text{O} \). ### Step 2: Heating Compound A - **Observation**: When heated, Compound A (hydrated ferrous sulfate) loses water and forms a white residue B. - **Chemical Reaction**: \[ \text{FeSO}_4 \cdot 7 \text{H}_2\text{O} \xrightarrow{\text{heat}} \text{FeSO}_4 + 7 \text{H}_2\text{O} \] - **Conclusion**: The white residue B is anhydrous ferrous sulfate (\( \text{FeSO}_4 \)). ### Step 3: Further Heating of Residue B - **Observation**: Upon further heating of residue B, it decomposes to form products C, D, and E. - **Chemical Reaction**: \[ 2 \text{FeSO}_4 \xrightarrow{\text{heat}} \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 + \text{SO}_2 + \text{SO}_3 \] - **Conclusion**: - C is \( \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3 \) (iron(III) oxide). - D is \( \text{SO}_3 \) (sulfur trioxide). - E is \( \text{SO}_2 \) (sulfur dioxide). ### Step 4: Analyzing Gas D - **Observation**: D (sulfur trioxide) is passed through \( \text{HgCl}_2 \) solution, resulting in a yellow precipitate. - **Chemical Reaction**: \[ \text{SO}_3 + \text{HgCl}_2 \rightarrow \text{Hg}_2\text{SO}_4 + \text{HCl} \] - **Conclusion**: The yellow precipitate formed is basic mercury(II) sulfate, represented as \( \text{Hg}_2\text{SO}_4 \). ### Step 5: Analyzing Gas E - **Observation**: E (sulfur dioxide) is passed through water followed by \( \text{H}_2\text{S} \), resulting in white turbidity. - **Chemical Reaction**: \[ \text{SO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{SO}_3 \] \[ \text{H}_2\text{SO}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{S} \rightarrow \text{white precipitate (lead sulfide)} \] - **Conclusion**: The white turbidity indicates the formation of a sulfide, likely lead sulfide. ### Step 6: Water Solubility of A - **Observation**: Compound A is water-soluble and forms a white precipitate with \( \text{HgCl}_2 \), which does not turn grey upon excess addition. - **Conclusion**: This confirms that the white precipitate is indeed not turning grey, indicating it is not metallic mercury but rather the basic mercury sulfate. ### Final Conclusion - The yellow precipitate formed when D (sulfur trioxide) is passed through \( \text{HgCl}_2 \) solution is basic mercury(II) sulfate, \( \text{Hg}_2\text{SO}_4 \). ### Answer: The yellow precipitate in the above observation is **basic mercury(II) sulfate**. ---
