Question

When $BaCl_2$ is added to an aqueous salt solution, a white precipitate is obtained. The anion among $CO_3^{ 2-}, SO_3^{ 2-}$ and $SO_4^{ 2-}$ that was present in the solution can be :

A

$CO_3^{ 2-}$ but not any of the other two

B

$SO_3^{ 2-}$ but not any of the other two

C

$SO_4^{ 2-}$ but not any of the other two

D

Any of them

Answer

Any of them

Explanation

Solution

$\because$ If $CO _{3}^{2-}, SO _{3}^{2-}$ and $SO _{4}^{2-}$ are present alongwith $BaCl _{2}$ , these can also show white precipitate (as precipitate of all these are also white).
