49)
The two anions from dil HCl group that gives the same gas are
Carbonate & bicarbonate → gives CO2 but it can't be oxidized
Sulphite & thiosulphate → gives SO2 that can be oxidized and react with acidified
K2Cr2O7
So the 2 salts X and Y are Na2SO3 and Na2S2O3
(1)
By confirmatory test by adding AgNO3 if white ppt is obtained that changes into
black by heating so this salt is Na2SO3
Or by adding iodine solution if the brown color disappears so this is Na2S2O3
(2) NaBr and NaI as both gives the same gas SO2

50)
Since Base (A) forms white ppt with X+3 salt and after adding excess of it the ppt is
dissolved

Then X+3 is Al+3 as Al(OH)3 "white gelatinous ppt" with excess NaOH gives sodium
meta aluminate which is soluble in water "NaAlO2"

Solution (B) is Na2SO4

Solution (C) is NaNO3

ppt (D) is PbSO4

(1) In order to differentiate between SOLID SALT of Na2SO4 and NaNO3 we will add
Conc H2SO4
If reddish brown gas evoloves and the solid salt dissolved then this is NaNO3
If no reaction occured then this is Na2SO4
(2) NaOH is a strong base and acetic acid is a weak acid so on mixing them with
equal volume and concentrations so the result media will be basic so the litmus
solution will give the blue color

51)
Yellow ppt which doesn’t dissolve in ammonia solution ➔ AgI
So, Anion of salt T is iodide (I-)
White ppt. formed on adding ammonia solution and dissolve in HCl ➔ Al(OH)3
So, Cation of salt T is Al3+
Salt is Aluminum iodide ➔ AlI3
