The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the precipitation of sulfides from the chlorides of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and cadmium (Cd) using hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: - Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) can react with metal ions to form metal sulfides. The general reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{M}^{2+} + \text{H}_2\text{S} \rightarrow \text{MS} + 2\text{H}^+ \] - Here, M represents the metal ions (Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺). 2. **Identifying the Conditions for Precipitation**: - For H₂S to effectively precipitate the sulfides of the metals, the solution must provide sufficient sulfide ions (S²⁻). - This occurs in an aqueous solution where H₂S can dissociate to provide sulfide ions. 3. **Analyzing the pH of the Solution**: - In an **acidic solution**, H₂S remains largely undissociated, which means there are fewer sulfide ions available to precipitate the metal sulfides. - In a **neutral or slightly basic solution**, H₂S can dissociate more effectively, providing the necessary sulfide ions. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, H₂S will precipitate the sulfides of copper, zinc, and cadmium if the solution is **aqueous** (neutral or slightly basic). - The correct answer to the question is that H₂S will precipitate the sulfides if the solution is **aqueous**. ### Final Answer: H₂S will precipitate the sulfide of all the metals from the solution of chlorides of Cu, Zn, and Cd if the solution is **aqueous**. ---
