    When the sodium fusion extract of an organic compound is treated with lead acetate solution, the formation of a black-precipitate confirms the presence of the element:

    A) nitrogen in the compound

    B) sulphur in the compound

    C) chlorine in compound

    D) bromine in the compound

    E) phosphorus in the compound

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    When a sodium fusion extract of an organic compound is treated with lead acetate solution, a black precipitate of\[PbS\]is formed. It confirms the presence of the element S. The reaction takes place as: \[N{{a}_{2}}S+{{(C{{H}_{3}}COO)}_{2}}Pb\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  lead\text{ }sulphide \\  (black\text{ }ppt.) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{PbS}}\,\] \[+2C{{H}_{3}}COONa\]
