Question
Why do we pass H2S gas in acidic medium in group 2?

Answer

It is done so as to reduce concentration of [SP2-] by common ion effect so that only group 2 radicals get precipitated whereas higher group radicals do not as Ksp of group II sulphides is low as compared to Ksp of sulphides of higher groups.
