The power [B] on boilingwithhydrochloric acidgiven a yellowish solution which gives a bloodred colouration on reacting with potassiumthiocyanate. Theyellowishgreen compound [A] is

Answer»

`CuSO_(4). 5H_(2)O`
`FeSO_(4).7H_(2)O`
`FeSO_(4).(NH_(4)) SO_(4). 6H_(2)O`
`Fe_(2)(SO_(4))_(3).7H_(2)O`

Solution :(b) The compound [A] is sulphate of some metal as it give two OXIDES of sulphur `(SO_(2)" and "SO_(3))` on HEATING. Its yellowish green colour suggests that (A) if `FeSO_(4).7H_(2)O` (green vitriol).
