Q1 FREE PREVIEW

During sodium nitroprusside test of sulphide ion in an aqueous solution, one of the ligands coordinated to the metal ion is converted to

a

\(NO{S}^{-}\)

b

\(SC{N}^{-}\)

c

\(SN{O}^{-}\)

d

\(NC{S}^{-}\)

✓ Correct answer: a)

\(NO{S}^{-}\)

Explanation

\({\mathrm{Na}}_{2}\mathrm{S}+{\mathrm{Na}}_{2}\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{CN}{)}_{5}\mathrm{NO}\right]\to {\mathrm{Na}}_{4}\right[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{CN}{)}_{5}\mathrm{NOS}\right]\)

The ligand NO converts to NOS.
