The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements are correct, we will evaluate each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement I **Statement I:** White precipitate of Zn(OH)₂ is soluble in excess ammonia and in solutions of ammonium salts. - **Explanation:** Zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)₂) is indeed a white precipitate that can dissolve in excess ammonia. When Zn(OH)₂ reacts with ammonia, it forms a soluble complex, [Zn(NH₃)₄]²⁺. This indicates that the statement is correct. **Conclusion:** Statement I is correct. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement II **Statement II:** Yellow precipitate of barium chromate is soluble in dilute acetic acid as well as in mineral acids. - **Explanation:** Barium chromate (BaCrO₄) is a yellow precipitate that is generally considered insoluble in dilute acetic acid and mineral acids. Therefore, this statement is false. **Conclusion:** Statement II is incorrect. ### Step 3: Evaluate Statement III **Statement III:** Green precipitate of Ni(OH)₂ is soluble in excess sodium hydroxide. - **Explanation:** Nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)₂) is a green precipitate that is not soluble in excess sodium hydroxide. Instead, it remains insoluble. Thus, this statement is also false. **Conclusion:** Statement III is incorrect. ### Final Conclusion Only Statement I is correct. Therefore, the answer is that only Statement I is true. ---
