NEET Chemistry (general) Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Carbonate ion (i) Formation of blue color with starch (b) Sulphide ion (ii) Effervescence with a colorless gas (c) Nitrite ion (iii) Smell of rotten eggs (d) Zinc ion (iv) Formation of a white precipitate
Choose the correct matching:
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iv, b-ii, c-iii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The carbonate ion (CO3^2-) is indicated by effervescence and the evolution of CO2 gas, while the sulphide ion (S^2-) is confirmed by the rotten egg smell of hydrogen sulfide gas. The nitrite ion (NO2^-) produces a blue color with starch and iodide, and the zinc ion (Zn^2+) forms a white precipitate. This matches with the respective tests described in the NCERT context.
