Paragraph for Questions 13 and 14
An aqueous solution of a mixture of two inorganic salts, when treated with dilute HCl, gave a precipitate (P) and a filtrate (Q). The precipitate P was found to dissolve in hot water. The filtrate (Q) remained unchanged when treated with HX2S in a dilute mineral acid medium. However, it gave a precipitate (R) with HX2S in an ammoniacal medium. The precipitate R gave a coloured solution (S), when treated with HX2OX2 in an aqueous NaOH medium.
The coloured solution S contains
