Presence of nitrate ions can be detected by adding freshly prepared \(\text{FeSO}_4\) solution. Then concentrated \(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\) is added along the walls of the test tube.
A brown ring is formed at the interface having the formula \([\text{Fe(H}_2\text{O)}_5\text{(NO)}]^{2+}\.
The oxidation state of Fe in this complex is

  1. A (+1)
  2. B (+3)
  3. C (+2)
  4. D \(0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (+1)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation
