Question

Given below are two statements :

Statement I : In 'Lassaigne's Test', when both nitrogen and sulphur are present in an organic compound, sodium thiocyanate is formed.

Statement II : If both nitrogen and sulphur are present in an organic compound, then the excess of sodium used in sodium fusion will decompose the sodium thiocyanate formed to give $NaCN$ and ${Na}_{2} S$ .

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options a: given below

TestHub · Accepted Answer

In case, nitrogen and sulphur both are present in an organic compound, sodium thiocyanate is formed. It gives blood red colour and no Prussian blue since there are no free cyanide ions.

$Na + C + N + S \to NaSCN$

${Fe}^{3 +} + {SCN}^{-} \to {[Fe (SCN)]}^{2 +} Blood red Na + NaCNS \to {Na}_{2} S + NaCN$
