JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2004 - No. 21)

The compound formed in the positive test for nitrogen with the Lassaigne solution of an organic compound is
Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3
Na4[Fe(CN)5NOS]
Fe(CN)3
Na3[Fe(CN)6]

Explanation

If nitrogen is present in organic compound, then sodium extract contains NaCN.

Na + C + N $$\buildrel {Fuse} \over \longrightarrow $$ NaCN

FeSO4 + 6NaCN $$ \to $$ Na4[Fe(CN)6] + Na2SO4

Na4[Fe(CN)6] changes to prussian blue Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 on reaction with FeCl3.

FeCl3 + Na4[Fe(CN)6] $$ \to $$ Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 + 12NaCl
