    The Lassaigne's extract is boiled with conc. \[HN{{O}_{3}}\]while testing for halogens. By doing so it:

    A)  increases the concentration of\[NO_{3}^{-}\]ions

    B)  decomposes \[N{{a}_{2}}S\]and NaCN, if formed

    C)  helps in the precipitation of AgCl

    D)  increases the solubility product of AgCl

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[N{{a}_{2}}S\]and NaCN are decomposed on heating with HN03 to form H^S and HCN in gaseous phase otherwise they will give precipitate with \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\] \[NaCN+HN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}NaN{{O}_{3}}+HCN\uparrow \] \[N{{a}_{2}}S+2HN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}2NaN{{O}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}S\]
