A sodium salt solution (neutral) gives a yellow precipitate with that dissolves in both dilute and aqueous . Which of the following observations will also be obtained with this solution? One or more options may be correct.

  1. AA white precipitate with that is insoluble in dilute HCl.
  2. BNo precipitate with in the presence of dilute HCl.
  3. CA canary-yellow precipitate with ammonium molybdate and concentrated on warming.
  4. DA white crystalline precipitate with magnesia mixture.

Answer: B, C, D

A yellow silver precipitate soluble in both dilute and is ( and do not dissolve in ), so the anion is phosphate. It therefore gives the yellow phosphomolybdate and white . Barium phosphate dissolves in dilute HCl, so no sulphate-type precipitate forms. Correct: first, second and third.
