During sodium nitroprusside test of sulphide ion in an aqueous solution, one of the ligands coordinated to the metal ion is converted to
- NOS-
- SCN-
- SNO-
- NCS-
Answer
(1) NOS-
Solution
Sulphide ion adds to the nitrosyl ligand of nitroprusside.
S2- + [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2- [Fe(CN)5(NOS)]4- (violet / purple colour)
Thus the NO+ ligand is converted into NOS-.
