4. For a solution containing at least one of the cat- ions involved in this experiment, answer the following questions. (1) A solution is acidified to pH 0.5, and H₂S is added. A dark precipitate results. Which cation(s) may be present? (2) KOH is added to the precipitate from (1). The supernatant liquid is separated from the dark precipitate and tested with HCI/H₂S. A colorless solu- tion results, with no precipitate. Which cation(s) may be present? (3) The remaining precipitate from (1) is treated with dilute HCI. The supernatant liquid is tested with NH3 and H₂S. A yellow precipitate results. Which cat- ion(s) may be present? (4) The precipitate left from the first step in (3) is dissolved in HNO3, and the resulting supernatant liq- uid is treated with NH3. A blue supernatant liquid re- sults, with no precipitate. Give the identity of all Group II cations present in the original solution.
