    Which of the following compounds gives blood red colouration when its Lassaignes extract is treated with acid and ferric chloride?

    A)  Thiourea        

    B)  Diphenyl sulphide

    C)  Phenyl hydrazine

    D)  Benzamide

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Blood red colour of Lassaignes extract with acid and ferric chloride indicates that both N and S are present in the compound. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  sodium \\  sulphocyanide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{3NaCNS}}\,+FeC{{l}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}3NaCl\]\[+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  ferricsulphocyanide \\  \left( blood\text{ }red\text{ }colour \right) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Fe{{(CNS)}_{3}}}}\,\] The formulae of the given compounds are as follows: [a] Thiourea: \[N{{H}_{2}}-CS-N{{H}_{2}}\] [b] Diphenyl sulphide: \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-S-{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\] [c] Phenylhydrazine: \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-NHN{{H}_{2}}\] [d] Benzamide: \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-CON{{H}_{2}}\] Therefore, thiourea will show mentioned test.
