Which of the products indicates the presence of sulphur atom in an organic compound, in qualitative elemental analysis?
Options
- A( Fe ₂ SO ₄ )
- BZnS
- C( MgS )
- D( PbS )
Correct answer
D. ( PbS )
Step-by-step solution
In qualitative elemental analysis of organic compounds (Lassaigne test) sulphur atom of the organic molecule gets converted into water soluble salt ( Na ₂ ~S ). It is tested with lead acetate ( ( CH ₃ COO )₂ ~Pb ) solution to give a black ppt. of ( PbS ). ( Na ₂ ~S (a q) ( CH ₃ COO ) Pb Black PbS +2 CH ₃ COONa )
