Match the tests in Column I with the observations in Column II.
Column I: (P) NHX4X+ with Nessler's reagent; (Q) MgX2+ with NaX2HPOX4 in NHX4Cl/NHX4OH; (R) CaX2+ with (NHX4)X2CX2OX4; (S) BaX2+ with KX2CrOX4 in acetic acid.
Column II: (1) white crystalline precipitate soluble in dilute acetic acid; (2) yellow precipitate insoluble in acetic acid; (3) white precipitate insoluble in acetic acid but soluble in dilute HCl; (4) brown precipitate or coloration.

Answer: A
Nessler's test gives a brown product (P-4). Mg(NHX4)POX4 is white and dissolves in acetic acid (Q-1). CaCX2OX4 is white, insoluble in acetic acid and soluble in mineral acids (R-3). BaCrOX4 is yellow and insoluble in acetic acid (S-2).
