Which one is colourless anion?

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Sodium zincate (Na₂ZnO₂) is

You are given a mixture of precipitated copper hydroxide and zinc hydroxide. Name a solvent which will dissolve:

1. only copper hydroxide
2. only zinc hydroxide
3. both copper hydroxide and zinc hydroxide.

You are given a mixture of precipitated copper hydroxide and zinc hydroxide. Name a solvent which will dissolve:
Only zinc hydroxide

You are given a mixture of precipitated copper hydroxide and zinc hydroxide. Name a solvent which will dissolve:
Both copper hydroxide and zinc hydroxide

You are given three white powders-calcium carbonate, lead carbonate and zinc carbonate. Describe the tests you would carry out in solution, to identify the metal ion in each of the above compounds. Indicate clearly how you would prepare the solutions for the tests.

Sodium hydroxide solution can be used to distinguish between i. iron (II) sulphate solution and (ii) iron (III) sulphate solution; because these solutions give different coloured precipitates with sodium hydroxide solution. Give the colour of the precipitate formed with each of the solution.

What will you observe when barium chloride solution is added to iron(II) sulphate solution.

How will the action of dilute hydrochloric acid on sodium carbonate and sodium sulphite enables you to distinguish between these two compounds?

Sodium hydroxide solution is added first in a small quantity, then in excess to the aqueous salt solutions of copper (II) sulphate, zinc nitrate, lead nitrate, calcium chloride and iron (III) sulphate. Copy the following table and write the colour of the precipitate in (i) to (v) and the nature of the precipiatate (soluble or insoluble) in (vi) to (x)

The questions (i) to (v) refer to the following salt solutions listed A to F :
A. Copper nitrate
B. Iron (II) sulphate
C. Iron (III) chloride
D. Lead nitrate
E. Magnesium sulphate
F. Zinc chloride
(i) Which two solutions will give a white precipitate when treated with dilute hydrochloric acid followed by barium chloride solution/
(ii) Which two solutions will give a white precipitate when treated with dilute nitric acid followed by silver nitrate solution?
(iii) Which solution will give a white precipitate when either dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute sulphuric acid is added to it?
(iv) Which solution becomes a deep/inky blue colour when excess of ammonium hydroxide is added to it?
(v) Which solution gives a white precipitate with excess ammonium hydroxide?

Give one chemical test to distinguish between the following pair of compounds:

Zinc sulphate solution and Zinc chloride solution

Give one chemical test to distinguish between the following pair of compounds:

Iron (II) chloride solution and iron (III) chloride solution
