    Which of the organic compounds will give red colour in Lassaigne test?

    A)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\]                              

    B)  \[N{{H}_{2}}-\overset{S}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-N{{H}_{2}}\]

    C)        \[N{{H}_{2}}-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-N{{H}_{2}}\]

    D)        None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    If both nitrogen and sulphur are present in a organic compound, they will give red blood colour with Lassaigne test due to the formation of ferric thiocyanate. \[Na+C+S+N\xrightarrow{\Delta }\underset{sodium.\,thiocyanate}{\mathop{NaSCN}}\,\] \[F{{e}^{3+}}+3NaSCN\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  ferric\,thiocyanate \\  (blood\,red\,colouration) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Fe{{(SCN)}_{3}}}}\,+3N{{a}^{+}}\]
