(A)  (P) Fe2+ + 2KCN → Fe(CN)2↓ →4KCNexcess K4[Fe(CN)6]

                                        Brown ppt.                Pale yelllow colouration

       (S) Ag+ + KCN → AgCN ↓ →KCN K[Ag(CN)2]

                                     white ppt.              soluble complex                       

(B)  (P) Fe(OH)2 is not soluble in both excess NaOH & excess NH4OH solution

       (Q) HgO not soluble in excess NaOH & excess NH4OH solution

(C)  (Q) Hg2+ + 2KI → HgI2↓ (scarlet red)

             HgI2 →2KI K2[HgI4]

    scarlate red ppt   soluble

       (R) Pb2+ + 2KI →PbI2 ↓ + 2K+

              PbI2↓+  2KI → K2[PbI4]

        Yellow ppt.    excess  soluble       

(D)  (R) Pb2+ + H2S → PbS↓ +  2H+

                                     black ppt.

        3PbS + 8HNO3 → 3Pb(NO3)2 + 2NO + 3S + 4H2O

       (S) 2Ag+ + H2S → Ag2S↓+ 2H+

                                      black ppt.

             3Ag2S↓ + 8HNO3 → AgNO3 + 2NO + 3S + 4H2O
