Consider three metal chlorides x, y and z, where x is water soluble at room temperature, y is sparingly soluble in water at room temperature and z is soluble in hot water. x, y and z are respectively

  1. AgCl, Hg2Cl2 and PbCl2
  2. CuCl2, AgCl and PbCl2
  3. AlCl3, PbCl2 and BaCl2
  4. MgCl2, AgCl and AlCl3

Answer

(2) CuCl2, AgCl and PbCl2

Solution

x: water soluble at room temperature — CuCl2 (also MgCl2, AlCl3, BaCl2); AgCl is not.

y: sparingly soluble at room temperature — AgCl (white precipitate of group I).

z: soluble in hot water — PbCl2. In salt analysis, the group I precipitate is boiled with water: PbCl2 dissolves, AgCl and Hg2Cl2 do not.

Option (1): x = AgCl is not water soluble. Option (3): z = BaCl2 is soluble even in cold water. Option (4): z = AlCl3 is soluble in cold water.

x, y, z = CuCl2, AgCl, PbCl2

Answer: (2)
