H 2 S gas when passed through a solution of cations containing HCl precipitates the cations of second group of qualitative analysis but not those belonging to the fourth group. It is because :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
In qualitative analysis of cation of second group H 2 S gas is passed in presence of HCl, of sulphide ions is obtained which is sufficient for the precipitation of second group cations in form of their sulphides due to lower value of their solubility product (K sp ). Here, fourth group cations are not precipitated becasue they require for exceeding their ionic product to their solubility products and higher sulphide ions concentration due to their higher K sp which is not obtained here due to common ion effect.
