    If N and S are present in an organic compound during Lassaigne test, then both changes into      [CPMT 1997]

    A)                 \[N{{a}_{2}}S\] and \[NaCN\]

    B)                 NaSCN

    C)                 \[N{{a}_{2}}S{{O}_{3}}\] and NaCN

    D)                 \[N{{a}_{2}}S\] and NaCNO

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               When sulphur and nitrogen both are present in organic compound during Lassaigne's Test, both changes into "sodium thiocyanate". (NaSCN) which gives a blood red colouration with Ferric ion.                                 \[3NaCNS+FeC{{l}_{3}}\to \underset{\text{(Blood red colour)}}{\mathop{\underset{\text{Ferric sulpho cyanide}}{\mathop{Fe{{(CNS)}_{3}}}}\,}}\,+3NaCl\]
