    Chemical formula of Prussian blue is

    A) \[{{K}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\]                  

    B) \[N{{a}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\]

    C)                  \[F{{e}_{4}}{{[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]}_{3}}\]

    D)       None of these                         

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\text{F}{{\text{e}}^{\text{2+}}}\]ions are oxidized to \[F{{e}^{3+}}\]which reacts with sodium ferrocyanide to give ferri ferrocyanide. \[4F{{e}^{3+}}+3N{{a}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\to \underset{\text{Prussian}\,\text{blue}}{\mathop{F{{e}_{4}}{{[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]}_{3}}}}\,+12\,N{{a}^{+}}\] Hence, the correct option is (c).
