What is the name of the gas liberated when diluted hydrochloric acid is added to iron(ii)sulphide?

A.

turns lime water milky

B.

decolorizes bromine water

C.

gives a pop sound

D.

turns lead(ii)ethanoate paper black

Correct answer is D

- Iron sulfide reacts with hydrochloric acid, releasing hydrogen sulfide: FeS + 2HCl → FeCl2 + H2S.

- Hydrogen sulfide reacts with lead acetate to form lead sulfide and thus produces a coloration on the paper which will vary from yellow to black, depending upon the amount of hydrogen sulfide present.
