A white salt X gives an apple green flame. On strong heating it gives a brown gas and a gas that rekindles a glowing splint, leaving a white residue that dissolves in water to give a strongly alkaline clear solution. Excess dilute sulphuric acid added to a solution of 2.61 g of X gives a white precipitate insoluble in dilute HCl. Using Ba 137, N 14, S 32, O 16, the mass of this precipitate is

  1. A2.61 g
  2. B1.17 g
  3. C4.66 g
  4. D2.33 g

Answer: D

The green flame, NO2 with O2 and a soluble basic oxide residue point to (M = 261): , and BaO gives clear . Moles of X . , so BaSO4 (M = 233) mass is g.
