Solution

The salt H is likely a salt of a metal that forms a complex with hydroxide ions. When boiled with excess NaOH, a non-inflammable gas is produced, which suggests that the metal in the salt is likely zinc, as zinc hydroxide decomposes to form zinc oxide and water when heated.

The gas evolution ceases after some

The identity of the cation and anion in a salt are investigated using the experimental instructions and the following results are obtained:a colourless gas is evolved when the salt is treated with concentrated nitric acidno precipitate is obtained when the solution resulting from this is further treated with concentrated hydrochloric acidNo precipitate is obtained when the dissolved salt is reacted with 2-2'-bipyridine solution and no blood red solution forms on reaction with a thiocynate (SCN) solutionA flame test reveals a dull brick red colourWhat is the salt?Group of answer choicesFeCO3Ag2CO3CaCO3CaCl2

A colorless aqueous solution contains nitrates of two metals, X and Y. When it was added to an aqueous solution of NaCl, a white precipitate was formed. This precipitate was found to be partly soluble in hot water to give a residue P and a solution Q. The residue P was soluble in aq. NH3 and also in excess sodium thiosulfate. The hot solution Q gave a yellow precipitate with KI. The metals X and Y, respectively, are4 pointsAg and PbAg and CdCd and PbCd and Zn
