    Nitrate is confirmed by ring test. The brown colour of the ring is due to the formation of [EAMCET 1979; AFMC 1981, 88, 90; RPET 1999; MP PMT 2000; MP PET 2002; CPMT 2004]

    A) Ferrous nitrite

    B) \[FeS{{O}_{4}}NO\]

    C) \[FeS{{O}_{4}}N{{O}_{2}}\]

    D) Ferrous nitrate

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    When \[NO_{3}^{-}\]is passed through\[FeS{{O}_{4}}\] (neutral) and then few drops of conc. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]is added then the brown ring is obtained. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}   \\   \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{FeS{{O}_{4}}\ +\ NO\ }}\,\underset{\text{Nitroso Ferrousulphate}}{\mathop{\underset{\text{(Brown}\ \text{ring)}}{\mathop{\to \,\,Fe(NO)S{{O}_{4}}\,\,\,}}\,}}\,\]
