    Which of the following oxides of nitrogen does react with \[FeS{{O}_{4}}\] to form a brown compound in the test of nitrate?

    A) \[{{N}_{2}}O\]                                  

    B) \[NO\]

    C) \[N{{O}_{2}}\]                                  

    D) \[{{N}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[NO_{3}^{-}+{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}HSO_{4}^{-}+HN{{O}_{3}}\] \[6FeS{{O}_{4}}+3{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+2HN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}3F{{e}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\]                                                                 \[4{{H}_{2}}O+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  nitric \\  oxide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{2NO}}\,\]  \[FeS{{O}_{4}}+NO\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  ferrous\,\,nitrososulphate \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,(brown\,\,ring) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Fe(NO)S{{O}_{4}}}}\,\] Hence, nitric oxide \[(NO)\] reacts with \[FeS{{O}_{4}}\] to give brown compound.
