    When acetic acid and \[{{K}_{4}}Fe{{\left( CN \right)}_{6}}\] is added to a copper salt, a chocolate precipitate is obtained of the compound

    A) Copper cyanide

    B) Copper ferrocyanide

    C) Basic copper sulphate

    D) Basic copper cyanide

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[Cu{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}{{(N{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}+4C{{H}_{3}}COOH\to Cu{{(N{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\]\[+4C{{H}_{3}}COON{{H}_{4}}\] \[2Cu\,{{(N{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}+{{K}_{4}}[Fe\,{{(CN)}_{6}}]\to \underset{\text{chocolate}\,\,\,\text{ppt}}{\mathop{C{{u}_{2}}Fe\,{{(CN)}_{6}}}}\,\]\[+4KN{{O}_{3}}\]
