Lassaigne's test is used for detection of:

Lassaigne's test is used for detection of:

Options

  1. ANitrogen and Sulphur only
  2. BNitrogen, Sulphur and Phosphorous Only
  3. CPhosphorous and halogens only
  4. DNitrogen, Sulphur, and halogens

Correct answer

D. Nitrogen, Sulphur, and halogens

Step-by-step solution

Lassaigne's test helps to detect Nitrogen, Sulphur, and Halogens in organic compounds. Here, sodium metal (Na)\left(Na\right) is heated in the presence of the organic compound inside a fusion tube. The primary objective of this test is that all the available elements are converted by Sodium metal (Na)\left(Na\right) into the ionic state. Lassaigne test reaction for sodium is given below:

N+Na+C→NaCNN + Na + C \to NaCN

S+2Na→Na2SS + 2Na \to {Na}_{2}S

X+Na→NaXX + Na \to NaX

In the third experiment, XX can be anything such as Cl,BrorICl, Br or I.
