NEET · Chemistry · STD 11 - 8.3. Organic chemistry purification and characterization
In Lassaigne's extract of an organic compound, both nitrogen and sulphur are present, which gives blood red colour with \(Fe ^{3+}\) due to the formation of-
- A \([ Fe ( SCN )]^{2+}\)
- B \(Fe _4\left[ Fe \left( CN _6\right)\right]_3 xH _2 O\)
- C \(NaSCN\)
- D \(\left[ Fe ( CN )_5 NOS \right]^{4-}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \([ Fe ( SCN )]^{2+}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In case nitrogen and sulphur both are present in an organic compound, sodium thiocyanate is formed, it give blood red colour and no prussian blue since there are no free cyanide Ions \(Na + C + N + S \rightarrow NaSCN\)
