Nitrogen detection in an organic compound is carried out by Lassaigne's test. The blue colour formed corresponds to which of the following formulae?

Options

  1. AFe3[Fe(CN)6]2\mathrm{Fe}_3\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_2
  2. BFe4[Fe(CN)6]3\mathrm{Fe}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_3
  3. CFe4[Fe(CN)6]2\mathrm{Fe}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_2
  4. DFe3[Fe(CN)6]3\mathrm{Fe}_3\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_3

Correct answer

B. Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3\mathrm{Fe}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_3

Step-by-step solution

3Na4[Fe(CN)6]Sodium ferrocyanide+2Fe2(SO4)3→Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3Ferric ferrocyanide (Prussian blue)+Na2SO4\underset{\text{Sodium ferrocyanide}}{3 \mathrm{Na}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]}+2 \mathrm{Fe}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3 \rightarrow \underset{\substack{\text{Ferric ferrocyanide} \ \text{(Prussian blue)} }}{\mathrm{Fe}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_3}+\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4
