An aqueous solution of a white salt A gives a white precipitate B on treatment with dilute HCl in cold condition. B is soluble in boiling water. An aqeous solution of A gives a yellow precipitate on treatment with a solution of `K_(2)CrO_(4)`. The soda extract of A is acidified with diolute `H_(2)SO_(4)`, boiled to remove `CO_(2)` and treated with a freshly prepared solution of `FeSO_(4)`. concentratd `H_(2)SO_(4)` is added to the resulting solution. a brownn ring is formed at the junction of the two layers.
Q. The salt A is:

A

`PbBr_(2)`

B

`Pb(NO_(3))_(2)`

C

`AgNO_(3)`

D

`Hg_(2)(NO_(3))_(2)`

The correct Answer is:
To determine the identity of the white salt A, we can analyze the information provided step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction with Dilute HCl**: - The problem states that an aqueous solution of the white salt A gives a white precipitate B when treated with dilute HCl in cold conditions. - The formation of a white precipitate suggests that salt A could contain a metal that forms an insoluble chloride. 2. **Solubility of Precipitate B**: - The precipitate B is described as being soluble in boiling water. This characteristic is important as it helps narrow down the possibilities. - Lead(II) chloride (PbCl2) is a white precipitate that is soluble in hot water, which aligns with the description of precipitate B. 3. **Reaction with K2CrO4**: - The next piece of information states that an aqueous solution of A gives a yellow precipitate when treated with K2CrO4. - Lead(II) ions (Pb²⁺) react with potassium chromate (K2CrO4) to form lead(II) chromate (PbCrO4), which is a yellow precipitate. This confirms that lead ions are present in salt A. 4. **Soda Extract and Brown Ring Test**: - The soda extract of A is acidified with dilute H2SO4, boiled to remove CO2, and treated with freshly prepared FeSO4. - The addition of concentrated H2SO4 results in the formation of a brown ring at the junction of the two layers, which indicates the presence of nitrate ions (NO3⁻) in the solution. This is characteristic of the brown ring test for nitrates. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the above reactions and observations, the white salt A is identified as lead(II) nitrate (Pb(NO3)2). This is consistent with all the reactions described. ### Final Answer: The salt A is **Lead Nitrate (Pb(NO3)2)**.
