Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding the brown ring test for nitrate ions (NO₃⁻)?

1. A dark brown ring appears at the junction of two solutions.

2. The brown ring is formed due to the formation of a nitrosoferrous sulphate complex.

3. The brown complex has the formula [Fe(H₂O)₅(NO)]SO₄.

4. Heating a nitrate salt with concentrated H₂SO₄ produces light brown fumes.

Match the anion radicals given in List I with the corresponding characteristics in List II and select the correct option given below:
List-I (Anions) List-II
(Gas evolved on reaction with dil H2SO4)
A. \(\mathrm{CO}_3^{2-}\) I. Colourless gas that turns lead acetate paper black.
B. \(\mathrm{S}^{2-}\) II. Colourless gas that turns acidified potassium dichromate solution green.
C. \(\mathrm{SO}_3^{2-}\) III. Brown fumes that turn acidified \(\mathrm{KI}\) solution containing starch blue.
D. \(\mathrm{NO}_2^{-}\) IV. Colourless gas evolved with brisk effervescence, which turns lime water milky.

A white precipitate was formed when \(\text{BaCl}_2\) was added to water extract of an inorganic salt. Further, a gas 'X' with characteristic odour was released when the formed white precipitate was dissolved in dilute HCl. The anion present in the inorganic salt is:

1. \(\text{I}^-\)
2. \(\text{SO}^{2-}_{3}\)
3. \(\text{S}^{2-}\)
4. \(\text{NO}^{-}_{2}\)
