The formation of brown ring in the reaction between nitrates, conc. `H_2SO_4` and `FeSO_4` involvesA. oxidation of nitric oxide to nitrogen dioxideB. reduction of ferrous sulphate to ironC. reduction of nitrate to nitric oxideD. oxidising property of sulphuric acid |
Answer» Correct Answer - C `Fe^(2+)` ion has a tendency to reduce `NO_3^- ` to nitric oxide NO `(N^(2+))` in presence of conc. `H_2SO_4`. `NO_3^(-) + 3Fe^(2+) + 4H^(+) to NO+ 3Fe^(3+) + 3H_2O` |
