  • question_answer
    In sulphur detection of an organic compound,   sodium   nitroprusside solution is added to sodium extract. Formation of violet colour is due to :

    A) \[N{{a}_{3}}Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}\]

    B) \[N{{a}_{3}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}NOSNa]\]

    C) \[Fe{{(CNS)}_{3}}\]

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    With sodium nitroprusside solution, the sodium extraction gives a purple colour of sodium thionitro preside. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (present\,\,in \\  sodium\,\,extract) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{2}}{{S}_{(aq)}}}}\,+\underset{(sodium\,\,nitroprusside)}{\mathop{N{{a}_{2}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}NO]}}\,\]  \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Purple\,\,colour \\  (Sodium\,\,thio\,\,nitro\,\,prusside) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{{}}N{{a}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}NOS]}}\,\]
