Kinetics — Hard JEE chemistry MCQ
A colorless aqueous solution contains nitrates of two metals, $\mathbf{X}$ and $\mathbf{Y}$. When it was added to an aqueous solution of $\mathrm{NaCl}$, a white precipitate was formed. This precipitate was found to be partly soluble in hot water to give a residue $\mathbf{P}$ and a solution $\mathbf{Q}$. The residue $\mathbf{P}$ was soluble in aq. $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ and also in excess sodium thiosulfate. The hot solution $\mathbf{Q}$ gave a yellow precipitate with KI. The metals $\mathbf{X}$ and $\mathbf{Y}$, respectively, are
- A. Ag and $\mathrm{Pb}$
- B. Ag and Cd
- C. $\mathrm{Cd}$ and $\mathrm{Pb}$
- D. Cd and Zn
Solution
The correct option is **A**.
