An unknown mixture contains one or two of the following: `CaCO_(3),BaCl_(2),AgNO_(3),Na_(2)SO_(4),ZnSO_(4) and NaOH`. The mixture is completely soluble in water and solution gives pink colour with phenolphthalein. When dilute hydrochloric acid is gradually added to the solution, a precipitate is formed which dissolved with further addition of the acid.
Q. Which of the following combination of compounds is soluble in water?

A

`BaCl_(2) and AgNO_(3)`

B

`AgNO_(3) and NaOH`

C

`BaCl_(2) and Na_(2)SO_(4)`

D

`ZnSO_(4) and` excess `NaOH`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given compounds and their solubility in water, as well as their behavior when hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: The unknown mixture contains one or two of the following compounds: - CaCO₃ (Calcium Carbonate) - BaCl₂ (Barium Chloride) - AgNO₃ (Silver Nitrate) - Na₂SO₄ (Sodium Sulfate) - ZnSO₄ (Zinc Sulfate) - NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide) 2. **Solubility in Water**: - CaCO₃: Insoluble in water - BaCl₂: Soluble in water - AgNO₃: Soluble in water - Na₂SO₄: Soluble in water - ZnSO₄: Soluble in water - NaOH: Soluble in water From this, we can see that BaCl₂, AgNO₃, Na₂SO₄, ZnSO₄, and NaOH are soluble in water. 3. **Phenolphthalein Test**: The solution gives a pink color with phenolphthalein, indicating that the solution is basic. This suggests the presence of NaOH or a basic compound. 4. **Addition of Dilute HCl**: When dilute HCl is added, a precipitate forms, which dissolves with further addition of the acid. This indicates that the precipitate is likely a hydroxide that is soluble in excess acid. 5. **Analyzing Possible Combinations**: - **Option 1: BaCl₂ + AgNO₃**: Both are soluble, but they do not produce a precipitate with HCl. - **Option 2: AgNO₃ + NaOH**: AgNO₃ is soluble, but NaOH would give a basic solution without a precipitate that dissolves in HCl. - **Option 3: BaCl₂ + Na₂SO₄**: Both are soluble, but do not react to form a precipitate with HCl. - **Option 4: ZnSO₄ + Excess NaOH**: ZnSO₄ is soluble, and when NaOH is added, it forms sodium zincate (Na₂ZnO₂), which is also soluble. Upon adding HCl, zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)₂) precipitates, which dissolves in excess HCl to form zinc chloride (ZnCl₂), confirming the behavior described. 6. **Conclusion**: The only combination of compounds that is soluble in water and fits all the criteria given in the problem is **ZnSO₄ and excess NaOH**. ### Final Answer: The combination of compounds that is soluble in water is **ZnSO₄ and excess NaOH** (Option 4). ---

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given compounds and their solubility in water, as well as their behavior when hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: The unknown mixture contains one or two of the following compounds: - CaCO₃ (Calcium Carbonate) - BaCl₂ (Barium Chloride) - AgNO₃ (Silver Nitrate) ...
