Among the following cations, the number of cations which will give characteristic precipitate in their identification tests with mathrmK_4[mathrmFe(mathrmCN)_6] is: mathrmCu^2+ , mathrmFe^3+ , mathrmBa^2+ , mathrmCa^2+ , mathrmNH_4^+ , mathrmMg^2+ , mathrmZn^2+

Numerical Answer Type:
Enter a numerical value Answer: 3 to 3 +4 marks

Solution & Explanation

### Core Logic Potassium ferrocyanide, K_4[Fe(CN)_6], serves as a key reagent for identifying specific metal cations via diagnostic precipitation reactions: - Cu^2+ yields a characteristic chocolate-brown precipitate: Cu_2[Fe(CN)_6]. - Fe^3+ reacts to produce an intense Prussian blue precipitate: Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3. - Zn^2+ forms a distinct white/grey-white precipitate: Zn_2[Fe(CN)_6]. *(Note: While Ca^2+ can form a complex under specific concentrated conditions, standard qualitative test protocols map the primary distinct precipitates to **3** principal metals).* Therefore, the final integer count is **3**. ### Pattern Recognition Remember the classic color transformations for ferrocyanide tests: copper shifts to chocolate brown, while iron transforms into Prussian blue. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Practical Chemistry

Q74 jee_main_2024_29_january_evening Chromatographic Separations
Chromatographic technique/s based on the principle of differential adsorption is/are A. Column chromatography B. Thin layer chromatography C. Paper chromatography Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
  • A. B only
  • B. A only
  • C. A & B only
  • D. C only

Solution

### Related Formula Classification of chromatography based on adsorption vs partition parameters. ### Core Logic Chromatography techniques are broadly divided into two main categories based on their operating principles: 1. **Adsorption Chromatography**: Relies on the differential adsorption of components on the surface of a stationary phase. Both Column Chromatography and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) operate on this principle. 2. **Partition Chromatography**: Relies on continuous differential partitioning of components between stationary and mobile liquid phases. Paper Chromatography is a prime example of this category. ### Step 1: Final Selection Thus, statements A and B are correct, matching choice (3). ### Pattern Recognition Remember: Column and Thin Layer chromatography are adsorption-based, while paper chromatography relies on partition mechanisms. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Principles of Practical Chemistry
Q87 jee_main_2024_29_jan_morning Organic Functional Groups
Number of compounds among the following which contain sulphur as heteroatom is Furan, Thiophene, Pyridine, Pyrrole, Cysteine, Tyrosine
Numerical Answer. Answer: 2 to 2

Solution

### Core Logic Let us check the chemical structure of each compound given in the list to determine if it contains a Sulphur (S) atom. 1. **Furan**: A 5-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring containing Oxygen (C_4H_4O). No Sulphur. 2. **Thiophene**: A 5-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring containing Sulphur (C_4H_4S). **Contains Sulphur**. 3. **Pyridine**: A 6-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring containing Nitrogen (C_5H_5N). No Sulphur. 4. **Pyrrole**: A 5-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring containing Nitrogen (C_4H_4NH). No Sulphur. 5. **Cysteine**: A naturally occurring alpha-amino acid with a thiol side chain (-CH_2-SH). **Contains Sulphur**. 6. **Tyrosine**: An alpha-amino acid with a phenol side chain. No Sulphur. ### Step 1: Final Count
