Question 27: A white amorphous powder (A) on heating yields a colourless, non-combustible
gas (B) and a solid (C). The later compound assumes a yellow colour on heating and changes to
white on cooling. (C) dissolves in dilute acid and the resulting solution gives a white ppt. on
adding K4[Fe(CN)6] solution. (A) dissolves in dilute HCl with evolution of gas, which is
identical in all respect to (B). The gas (B) turns lime water milky, but the milkiness disappears
with the continuous passage of gas. The solution obtained by treating (A) with dil. HCl gives a
white precipitate (D) on the addition of excess NH4OH and passing H2S. Same solution

a red brown residue (E).
(iii) (E) dissolves in warm conc. HCl to give a yellow solution (F).
(iv) With H2S, the solution (F) yields a pale-yellow ppt. (G), which when filtered, leaves a
greenish filtrate (H).

solution. Similarly, addition of excess of potassium ferrocyanide to (C) produces a precipitate
(D) which also dissolves in aqueous NaOH giving a clear solution. Identify (A), (B), (C) and (D).
