Formation of , a purple coloured complex formed by addition of sodium nitroprusside in sodium carbonate extract of salt indicates the presence of :
  1. (A)Sodium ion
  2. (B)Sulphate ion
  3. (C)Sulphide ion✓ Correct
  4. (D)Sulphite ion

Answer: (C)

Solution

The sulphide ion in the sodium carbonate extract reacts with sodium nitroprusside to form the complex , in which the nitrosyl group binds sulphur, developing a violet-purple colour. The appearance of this purple complex confirms the presence of the sulphide ion.
