Paragraph : Test (Q). A compound ' X ' was fused with Na metal and the extract gave a white precipitate with AgNO ₃ . The Lassaigne's extract gave red colouration with neutral FeCl ₃ . Test 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 While compound Y on fusion with fusion mixture (sodium carbonate + potassium nitrate)
Options
- Awill contain halogens
- Bmay contain halogens
- Cmay contain only sulphur
- 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.
