Paragraph : Test (Q). A compound ' X ' was fused with Na metal and the extract gave a white precipitate with AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO}_3. The Lassaigne's extract gave red colouration with neutral FeCl3\mathrm{FeCl}_3. Test R\mathbf{R} While compound ' Y ' when fused with Na metal and subsequent analysis on its Lassaigne's extract did not give any characteristic test. Test S\mathbf{S} While compound Y on fusion with fusion mixture (sodium carbonate + potassium nitrate) or Na2O2\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{O}_2, followed by extraction, followed by addition of conc. HNO3\mathrm{HNO}_3 and ammonium molybdate gave a yellow precipitate.Question : Compound X

Options

  1. Awill contain halogens
  2. Bmay contain halogens
  3. Cmay contain only sulphur
  4. Dwill contain nitrogen

Correct answer

B. may contain halogens

Step-by-step solution

Choice (B) is correct because we cannot be definite about halogens, i.e., choice (A) is incorrect because we have not eliminated the presence of CN , for even AgCN is white precipitate hence choice (C) and (D) are incorrect.
