In Lassaigne's test for nitrogen, the Prussian blue colour is due to the formation of:

Answer: Fe 4 [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3.

  • A Fe(SCN)<sub>3</sub>
  • B Na<sub>4</sub>[Fe(CN)<sub>6</sub>]
  • C Fe<sub>4</sub>[Fe(CN)<sub>6</sub>]<sub>3</sub>
  • D AgCN

Correct answer: C. Fe<sub>4</sub>[Fe(CN)<sub>6</sub>]<sub>3</sub>

Explanation: Cyanide from sodium fusion forms ferrocyanide, which reacts with Fe(III) to give ferric ferrocyanide, Fe<sub>4</sub>[Fe(CN)<sub>6</sub>]<sub>3</sub>, the Prussian blue precipitate.

Geometric (cis-trans) isomers of 1,2-dichloroethene differ only in the relative arrangement of groups across the rigid C=C double bond.

Concept context

General Organic Chemistry covers the rules behind all organic reactions. Covers inductive effect, resonance, hyperconjugation, types of reactions (substitution, addition, elimination), and isomerism including optical and geometric forms.
