Given below are two statements: In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Answer
(4) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Solution
Concept: Lassaigne's test fuses the compound with Na, so covalent N, S, X become ionic NaCN, Na2S, NaX ⇒ Statement I true.
With N and S together: Na + C + N + S NaSCN, so no free CN- and no Prussian blue.
Fe3+ + SCN- [Fe(SCN)]2+ (blood-red) ⇒ Statement II false.
Answer: (4)
