    When potassium ferrocyanide crystals are heated with concentrated sulphuric acid, the gas evolved is:

    A)  sulphur dioxide

    B)  ammonia

    C)  carbon dioxide

    D)  carbon monoxide

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\underset{Pot.\,ferrocyanide}{\mathop{{{K}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]}}\,+6{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+6{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{Heat}\] \[2{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+6CO+FeS{{O}_{4}}\] Therefore, carbon monoxide gas is evolved.
