In Lassaigne's test for halogens, it is necessary to remove 'X' and 'Y' from the sodium fusion extract, if nitrogen and Sulphur are present. This is done by boiling the extract with 'Z'. Identify X, Y and Z.

  1. A X=NaNO3Y=Na2SO4Z=conc. HNO3
  2. B X=NaNH2Y=NaSHZ=conc. HCl
  3. C X=NaNO2Y=Na2SO3Z= conc. H2SO4
  4. D X=NaCNY=Na2SZ= conc. HNO3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) X=NaCNY=Na2SZ= conc. HNO3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Lassaigne's extract is used for the detection of nitrogen and sulphur. In this the organic compound reacts with the sodium thiocyanate followed by the Fe3+ cation and formed the [Fe(SCN)]2+ complex which is red blood colour. For the test of halogens, it is necessary to remove…
