Answers (1)

The answer is the option (iii) Both A and R are not correct.

Explanation: Sulphur is estimated by the Carius method in the form of white precipitate of BaSO_{4} on heating with fuming and BaCl_{2}. If light yellow solid is obtained it means that impurities are present. It is then filtered, washed, and then dried to get pure BaSO_{4}.
