Reaction of Cu(NO₃)₂ with each salt is as follow,
1) with KNO₃;
Cu(NO₃)₂ + KNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + KNO₃
Both salt products are water soluble.
2) With CuSO₄;
Cu(NO₃)₂ + CuSO₄ → CuSO₄ + Cu(NO₃)₂
Again both Salt products are water soluble.
3) With K₂SO₄;
Cu(NO₃)₂ + K₂SO₄ → CuSO₄ + 2 KNO₃
Again both salt products are water soluble.
4) With K₂S;
Cu(NO₃)₂ + K₂S → CuS + 2 KNO₃
In this case CuS is water insoluble, hence precipitates out.
Result:
Option-4 is the correct answer.
