NaCN + HNO3 NaNO3 + HCN Na2S + HNO3 NaNO3 + H2S Nilnic acid decomposed NaCN & Na2S, else they precipitate in test & misquite the resolve For testing of halogens, Nitric acid is added to the sodium extract because if CN– or S2– are present then they will be oxidised and removed before the test of halides.
Practical Organic Chemistry
Carius method is used in the estimation of halogen and sulphur in organic compounds.

(i) Lassaigne test is used to detect N, S, P, X element (ii) Carbon and hydrogen are detected by heating the compound with copper (ii) oxide. (iii) Halides are detected by silver nitrate (iv) Sodium fusion extract gives black ppt. with acetic acid and lead acetate to confirm the presence of sulphur.
1-naphthyl amine and sulphanilic acid in acetic acid is used for the detection of
.
Compound ‘X’ is copper nitrate, i.e.
Cu(NO3)2 is an inorganic compound.
On treatment with concentrated H2SO4 produces brown fumes and gives dark brown ring with FeSO4 in presence of concentrated H2SO4.
Chemical reaction is as follows Cu2+ is a group II cation with group II reagents (HCl/H2S) , it gives black coloured precipitates.
These precipitates gives blue colour solution on treatment with HNO3 followed by excess of NH4OH.
Organic compound is heated with fuming nitric acid in the presence of silver nitrate in carius method.
Lunar caustic (AgNO3) is used as reagent hare to distinguish Cl, Br- and I respectively as follows.
white
pale yellow
Dark yellow
(a) [Fe(CN)6]4 Pale yellow solution (b) [Fe(SCN)6]4 Blood red colour (c) Fe4[Fe(CN6)]3 .
H2O Prussian blue (d) [Fe(CN)5NOS]4 Violet colour
In Seliwanoff's reagent, Cu is not present. In Barfoed, Biuret and in Benediet reagent Cu is present.
Both statement I & statement II are correct
