Passing $H_2S$ gas into a mixture of $Mn^{2+}, Ni^{2+}, Cu^{2+}$ and $Hg^{2+}$ ions in an acidified aqueous solution precipitates

Which of the following ions forms a white precipitate upon the addition of $HCl$ to its aqueous solution?

$A$ salt on treatment with dil. $HCl$ gives a pungent smelling gas and a yellow precipitate. The salt gives a green flame when tested. The salt solution gives a yellow precipitate with potassium chromate. The salt is:

The reagent used for the identification of $Ni^{2+}$ ions is .....

Among the following cations,the number of cations which will give characteristic precipitate in their identification tests with $K_4[Fe(CN)_6]$ is :
$Cu^{2+}, Fe^{3+}, Ba^{2+}, Ca^{2+}, NH_4^{+}, Mg^{2+}, Zn^{2+}$

Sodium carbonate cannot be used in place of ammonium carbonate for the precipitation of the fifth group radicals because
