Important Questions on Inorganic Qualitative Analysis

EASY
Which element is not present in Nessler’s reagent?
EASY
What colour is formed in the reaction of ammonia with Nessler’s reagent? 
EASY

The pungent smell produced in the reaction of ammonium ions with NaOH is due to the formation of 

HARD
X KOH Y (gas turns red litmus blue) + Z Zn + KOH Y (gas) .

X Δ gas (does not support combustion)

Identify (X) to (Z):
EASY
A white crystalline solid A on boiling with caustic soda solution gave a gas B which when passed through an alkaline solution of potassium mercuric iodide gave a brown ppt. The substance A on heating gave a gas C which rekindled a glowing splinter but did not give brown fumes with nitric oxide. The gas C is
HARD
0.33M solution of aluminium chloride AlCl3 is used for the quantitative analysis of Al+3 ions. If NaOH is added in 0.33 M AlCl3 a while ppt is formed and when excess NaOH is added it dissolved by forming soluble tetrahydroxoaluminate ion Al(OH)4-, if NH4+ ions are added to Al(OH)4-, then
HARD
A white crystalline solid 'A' on boiling with caustic soda solution gives a gas 'B' which on passing through an alkaline solution of potassium tetraiodomercurate (II) solution gives a brown ppt. The substance 'A' on heating evolves a neutral gas 'C', which is inert at room temperature and reactive in the presence of catalyst and does not give brown fumes with nitric acid oxide.

The gas 'C' is

In Nessler's reagent for the detection of ammonia, the active species is:
EASY
What is the correct statement about product in the following reaction?
K2[HgI4]+NH4Cl+KOHProduct(Brown ppt.)
HARD
A colourless water soluble solid 'X' on heating gives equimolar quantities of Y and Z. Y gives dense white fumes with HCl and Z does so with NH3. Y gives brown precipitate with Nessler's reagent and Z gives white precipitate with nitrates of Ag+, Pb2+ and Hg22+. 'X' is :

A compound (A) on heating with an excess of caustic soda solution liberates a gas (B) which gives white fumes on exposure of HCl. The resultant alkaline solution thus obtained after heating again liberates the same gas (B) when heated with zinc powder. Compound (A) on heating alone gives a neutral oxide of nitrogen not nitrogen gas. Choose the correct statement from the following:
