Acidic ferric chloride solution on treatment with excess of potassium ferrocyanide gives a Prussian blue coloured colloidal species. It is :

  1. A \(\mathrm{Fe}_{4}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]_{3}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{K}_{5} \mathrm{Fe}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]_{2}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{HFe}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{KFe}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{KFe}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{FeCl}_{3}+\mathrm{K}_{4}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right](\text { excess })\) \(\quad\quad\quad\downarrow\) \(\mathrm{K} \mathrm{Fe}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]\) Colloidal species
