A blue solution of salt X gives no precipitate with dilute . Passing through the acidified solution gives a black precipitate Y, which dissolves in hot dilute leaving a pale yellow solid and giving a blue solution Z. Z gives a deep blue species W with excess . The identity of Y and the spin-only magnetic moment of the cation in W (in BM, using ) are

  1. A, 0 BM
  2. B, 2.83 BM
  3. C, 1.73 BM
  4. D, 1.73 BM

Answer: D

Black sulphide from acidic that dissolves in hot dilute with sulphur deposition and a blue solution is ; W is . is with one unpaired electron, so BM.
