The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify pairs of compounds that yield red and black precipitates, respectively, and confirm that both are soluble in excess potassium iodide (KI) solution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Red Precipitate:** - The red precipitate in question is **Mercury(I) iodide (HgI2)**. - When HgI2 is treated with excess KI, it forms a soluble complex, **Tetraiodomercurate(II) ion (HgI4^2-)**. 2. **Identify the Black Precipitate:** - The black precipitate is **Bismuth(III) iodide (BiI3)**. - When BiI3 reacts with excess KI, it forms a soluble complex, **Bismuth tetraiodide ion (BiI4^-)**. 3. **Confirm Solubility in Excess KI:** - Both HgI2 and BiI3 are known to form soluble complexes when treated with excess KI. - HgI2 → HgI4^2- (soluble) - BiI3 → BiI4^- (soluble) 4. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the pair that meets the criteria of having a red precipitate (HgI2) and a black precipitate (BiI3), both of which are soluble in excess KI, is the correct answer. ### Final Answer: The correct pair is **B (HgI2 and BiI3)**.
