NEET Chemistry Functional Group Tests MCQ Question
Which combination of statements correctly describes the tests for sulfate and phosphate ions?
Sulfate ions give a white precipitate with barium chloride; phosphate ions produce a yellow precipitate with ammonium molybdate.
Sulfate ions do not form any precipitate when treated with barium chloride; phosphate ions do not react with ammonium molybdate.
Sulfate ions give a yellow precipitate with lead acetate; phosphate ions give a white precipitate with barium chloride.
Sulfate ions produce a white precipitate with lead acetate; phosphate ions form a white precipitate with barium chloride.
