Question

Aqueous solution of a salt 'A', when mixed with NaOH solution and warmed, a black precipitate is formed. Black ppt. is filtered and dissolved in dil. H2SO4 solution. The resulting solution gives a chocolate coloured precipitate with potassium ferrocyanide solution. The filtrate obtained after filtering off the black precipitate, upon warming with Zn and NaOH evolves a pungent smelling gas. The resulting solution also responds to the ring test. The filtrate does not evolve any gas when it is boiled with urea in the presence of H2SO4.

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

The black ppt (CuO) dissolves in H2SO4 to form CuSO4. CuSO4 reacts with K4[Fe(CN)6] to form a chocolate brown precipitate of Cu2[Fe(CN)6].
