When a metal rod M is dipped into an aqueous colourless concentrated solution of compound N, the solution turns light blue. Addition of aqueous to the blue solution gives a white precipitate O. Addition of aqueous dissolves O and gives an intense blue solution.The final solution contains :
- Aand
- Band
- Cand
- Dand

Correct answer: C
- Identify the blue solution formed when metal rod is dipped into colourless concentrated solution of
A light blue solution strongly suggests the presence of ions in solution.
A standard reaction is:
- is colourless and concentrated.
- Copper metal rod dipped in it forms in solution, giving a light blue colour.
- So:
- Effect of adding aqueous to the blue solution
The blue solution now contains mainly:
- ions
- ions may still be present if was concentrated/excess
On adding , a white precipitate forms:
So white precipitate is:
- Effect of adding aqueous
Silver chloride dissolves in aqueous ammonia due to complex formation:
Also, with excess ammonia gives the intense deep blue tetraammine complex:
Thus the final solution contains:
- Match with options
This corresponds to Option C.
- Check all options briefly
- A: is not the relevant complex here; also cobalt chloride complex is not indicated.
- B: does not form such a stable tetraammine complex in aqueous solution; inconsistent.
- C: and — exactly matches observations.
- D: Nickel would give a different initial chemistry; also blue solution and white precipitate point to silver and copper, not nickel.
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
