    In sulphur detection of an organic compound, sodium nitroprusside solution is added to sodium extract. Formation of violet colour is due to:

    A) \[N{{a}_{3}}Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}\]

    B)        \[N{{a}_{3}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}NOS]\]

    C) \[Fe{{(CNS)}_{3}}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (i) \[Fe{{(CNS)}_{3}}\]is red in colour and is formed when both N and S are present in organic compound (ii)\[\underset{\text{compound}}{\mathop{\underset{\text{from}\,\text{organic}}{\mathop{\text{N}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}\text{S}}}\,}}\,\text{+}\,\underset{\text{nitroprusside}}{\mathop{\underset{\text{sodium}}{\mathop{\text{N}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ Fe(CN}{{\text{)}}_{\text{5}}}\text{NO }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }}}\,}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[\underset{\text{violet}\,\text{colour}}{\mathop{\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ N}{{\text{a}}_{\text{3}}}\text{Fe(CN}{{\text{)}}_{\text{5}}}\text{NOS }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }}}\,\]
