A metallic nitrate `(A)` on strong heating leaves behind a residue along with liberation of gases. The metallic nitrate on treatment with `H_(2)S//H^(+)` gives a black precipitate `(B)^(-)` insoluble in hot dilute nitric acid, but the precipitate dissolves in aquaregia. Compound B isA. `Ag_(2)S`B. `CuS`C. `HgS`D. `PbS`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`underset((A))(Hg(NO_(3))_(2))rarrHg+NO_(2)+O_(2)`
`darrH_(2)S//H^(+)`
`underset((B))(HgS)`
`Hg(NO_(3))_(2)+NH_(3)+H_(2)OrarrHgO`
`Hg(NH_(2))NO_(3)darr+NH_(4)^(+)`( White ppt of mixed composition)
