Options
- Ared colouration
- Bblue colouration
- Cpurple colouration

Correct answer
C. purple colouration
Step-by-step solution
This test is used for the presence of sulphur in any compound. When sodium nitroprusside, react with sulphide ion, e . g . Na 2   S the following reaction takes place Na 2 S + Na 2 Fe CN 5 NO ⟶ Na 4 Fe CN 5 NO 5 Sod .   nitroprusside   purple   coloration   sod .   thionitroprusside
