Which statements about ZnX2+ are correct?
AZn(OH)X2 is a white precipitate that dissolves in excess NaOH as [Zn(OH)X4]X2−.
BKX4[Fe(CN)X6] gives a bluish-white (white) precipitate.
CHX2S in ammoniacal medium gives white ZnS which dissolves in dilute HCl.
DThe sulphide formed in ammoniacal medium is black.
Answer: A, B, C
Zn(OH)X2 is amphoteric. Hexacyanoferrate(II) gives a white to bluish-white precipitate. ZnS is white and, unlike NiS and CoS, dissolves in cold dilute HCl. It is not black, so D is false.
