    A violet colour compound is formed in detection of \[S\] in a compound

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

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

    C)        \[N{{a}_{2}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}NOS]\]

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

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    When \[N{{a}_{2}}S\] is mixed with freshly prepared sodium nitroprusside, a deep violet colour indicates the presence of sulphur. \[N{{a}_{2}}S+N{{a}_{2}}\underset{sodium\,\,nitroprusside}{\mathop{[Fe(NO){{(CN)}_{5}}]}}\,\]                                                 \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  sodium\,\,thionitro\,\,prusside \\  violet\,\,coloured\,\,complex \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{a}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{5}}NOS]}}\,\]
