Analytical Chemistry Question 17
Question: The best explanation for the solubility of MnS in dil. HCl is that
[UPSEAT 2001]
Options:
A) Solubility product of $ MnCl_2 $ is less than that of MnS
B) Concentration of $ M{n^{2+}} $ is lowered by the formation of complex ions with chloride ions
C) Concentration of sulphide ions is lowered by oxidation to free sulphur
D) Concentration of sulphide ions is lowered by formation of the weak acid $ H_2S $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
It is a characteristic property of IV group concentration of sulphide ions is lowered by formation of the weak acid $ H_2S $ .
