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

    C)  \[Fe{{(CNS)}_{3}}\]     

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (i) \[Fe\,{{(CN)}_{3}}\] is red in colour and is formed when both N and S are present in organic compound (ii) \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  from\text{ }organic \\  compound \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{2}}S}}\,\,\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  sodium\text{ } \\  nitroprusside \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{2}}\,[Fe\,{{(CN)}_{5}}NO]}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[\underset{violet\text{ }colour}{\mathop{[N{{a}_{3}}Fe\,{{(CN)}_{5}}NOS]}}\,\]
