Three students, Manish, Ramesh and Rajni, were determining the extra elements present in an organic compound given by their teacher. They prepared the Lassaigne's extract (LE) independently by the fusion of the compound with sodium metal. Then they added solid FesO4 and dilute sulphuric acid to a part of Lassaigne's extract. Manish and Rajni obtained Prussian blue colour bit Ramesh got red colour. Ramesh repeated the test with the same Lassaigne's extract, but again got red colour only. They were surprised and went to their teacher and told him about their observation. Teacher asked them to think over the reason for this. Can you help them by giving the reason for this observation? Also, write the chemical equations to explain the formation of compounds of different colours. |
|
Answer» In the Lassaigne's test for nitrogen in an organic compound, the Prussian blue colour is obtained due to the formation of ferric ferrocyanide. 6NaCN + FeSO4 → Na4[Fe(CN)6] + Na2SO4 3Na4 [Fe (CN)6) ] + 2Fe2(SO4)3 → Fe4 [Fe(CN)6] + 6Na2SO4 In compounds containing nitrogen and Sulphur together, the sodium metal should be in slight excess otherwise in Lassaigne's test, sodium thiocyanate (NaCNS) is formed which gives red colour with Fe3+ ions and decomposes follows: NaSCN + 2Na→ NaCN + Na2S 3NaSCN + FeCl3 → Fe(SCN)3 + 3NaCl On the basis of above results, it is clear that Ramesh used less sodium and hence NaSCN was formed in the Lassaigne's extract which gave red colouration due to Fe(SCN)3 formation while Manish and Rajni used excess sodium and hence, NaCN was formed in the Lassaigne's extract which gave Prussian blue colour of Fe4 [Fe (CN)6]. |

Three students, Manish, Ramesh and Rajni were determining the extra elements present in an organic compound given by their teacher. They prepared the Lassaigne’s extract (L.E.) independently by the fusion of the compound with sodium metal. Then they added solid FeSO4 and dilute sulphuric acid to a part of Lassaigne’s extract. Manish and Rajni obtained prussian blue colour but Ramesh got red colour. Ramesh repeated the test with the same Lassaigne’s extract, but again got red colour only. They were surprised and went to their teacher and told him about their observation. Teacher asked them to think over the reason for this. Can you help them by giving the reason for this observation. Also, write the chemical equations to explain the formation of compounds of different colours. |
|
Answer» In Lassaigne’s test SCN– ions are formed due to the presence of sulphur and nitrogen both. These give red colour with Fe3+ ions. This happens when fusion is not carried out in the excess of sodium. With excess of sodium the thiocyanate ion, if formed, is decomposed as follows: NaSCN + 2Na ⎯→ NaCN + Na2S |
|
