    Violet coloured complex obtained in the detection of sulphur is

    A) \[N{{a}_{3}}[Fe(ONSNa){{(CN)}_{5}}]\]

    B) \[N{{a}_{2}}[Fe(NO){{(CN)}_{5}}]\]

    C) \[N{{a}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}NOS]\]

    D)    Both (a) and (c)

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\text{N}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}\text{S}\] on reaction with sodium nitroprusside gives violet colouration which slowly fades on standing as follows: \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{From} \\  \text{Lassaigne }\!\!'\!\!\text{ s}  \\  \text{extract} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{2}}S}}\,+\underset{\text{sodium}\,\text{nitroprusside}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{2}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}(NO)]\to }}\,\] \[\underset{\text{Sodium}\,\text{thionitroprusside}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{3}}[Fe(ONSNa){{(CN)}_{5}}]}}\,\]or \[N{{a}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}(NOS)]\] Hence, the correct option is (d).
