A white precipitate was formed when BaCl2 was added to water extract of an inorganic salt. Further, a gas ‘X’ with characteristic odour was released when the formed white precipitate was dissolved in dilute HCl. The anion present in the inorganic salt is
- I–
\(SO^{2-}_3\)
- S2–
\(NO^{-}_2\)
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is (B) : \(SO^{2-}_3\)
Anion is
\(SO^{2-}_3\)
\(BaSO_3 \stackrel{dil.HCL}{→} SO_2 ↑\)
X (gas)
Gas is released with smell of burning sulphur.

- An organic compound \(P\) with molecular formula \(C_6H_6O_3\) gives a ferric chloride test and does not have an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The compound \(P\) reacts with 3 equivalents of \(NH_2OH\) to produce oxime \(Q\). Treatment of \(P\) with excess methyl iodide in the presence of \(KOH\) produces compound \(R\) as the major product. Reaction of \(R\) with excess iso-butylmagnesium bromide followed by treatment with \(H_3O^+\) gives compound \(S\) as the major product. The total number of methyl (\(-CH_3\)) groups in compound \(S\) is \_\_\_\_\_.

Concepts Used:
Qualitative Analysis
Qualitative Analysis involves the systematic identification of ions present in a mixture. It focuses on the properties and reactions of ions, particularly cations. The process begins with the systematic analysis of cations, where precipitation reactions are utilized to sequentially remove cations from a mixture. Students learn to recognize characteristic reactions and observe precipitates, helping identify specific ions.
