(3) 1.5 × 10-5 M (4) 3.0 × 10-5 M

99. When HCl gas is passed through a saturated solution of common salt, pure NaCl is
precipitated because:-

70 E
 Chemistry For NEET By Prince Sir
(1) The impurities dissolve in HCl
(2) HCl is slightly soluble in water
(3) The ionic product [Na+] × [Cl–] exceeds the solubility product of NaCl
(4) The solubility product of NaCl is lowered by Cl– from aq. HCl

100. A solution is a mixture of 0.06 M KCl and 0.06 M KI. AgNO3 solution is being
added drop by drop till AgCl starts precipitating (Ksp AgCl = 1× 10–10 and
Ksp AgI = 4 × 10–16). The concentration of Iodide ion at this stage will be
nearly equal to :-
(1) 4.0 × 10–5 M (2) 2.4 × 10–7 M
(3) 2.0 × 10–8 M (4) 4 × 10–8 M

101. Why only As3+ gets precipitated as As2S3 and not Zn2+ as ZnS when H2S is
passed through an acidic solution containing As3+ and Zn2+ :-
(1) Enough As3+ are present in acidic medium
(2) Zinc salt does not ionise in acidic medium
(3) Solubility product of As2S3 is less than that of ZnS
(4) Solubility product changes in presence of an acid

102. H2S is passed through a solution of cations in HCl medium to precipitate cation
of :-
(1) II-A group of cation analysis
(2) II - B group of cation analysis
(3) IV group of cation analysis
(4) Both II - A and II-B gps.

103. To have more sulphide ion concentration, H2S should be passed through :-
(1) 1 N HCl solution
(2) 0.1 M HCl solution
(3) A neutral solution such as water
(4) An ammonical solution

104. When excess oxalic acid is added to CaCl2, CaC2O4 is precipitated and the
solution still contains some unprecipitated Ca2+ for the reason:-
(1) CaC2O4 is a soluble salt
(2) Oxalic acid does not ionise at all
(3) When H2C2O4 is added to CaCl2, HCl is formed which is
fully ionised and thus increases the H+ ion concentration so supresses
the ionisations of H2C2O4 and hense the ionic product of CaC2O4 is not
exceeded to the solubility product
(4) None of the above

105. The solubility product of hydroxides of Mg+2, Zn+2, and Fe+3 decreases as
Ksp Mg(OH)2 > Ksp Zn(OH)2 > Ksp Fe(OH)3 The order of precipitation of hydroxides
is:-
