Key Points: Detection of Nitrogen
- SFE is boiled with freshly prepared FeSO₄ solution, then acidified with conc. HCl, then 2–3 drops of FeCl₃ added
- Prussian blue colour confirms nitrogen
Reactions:
- FeSO₄ + 2NaOH → Fe(OH)₂ + Na₂SO₄
- 6NaCN + Fe(OH)₂ → Na₄[Fe(CN)₆] + 2NaOH
- 3Na₄[Fe(CN)₆] + 4FeCl₃ → Fe₄[Fe(CN)₆]₃ (Prussian blue) + 12NaCl
Exceptions: Test NOT given by compounds lacking C atoms that contain N (e.g., NH₂NH₂, NH₂OH) because CN⁻ ion won't form. Also NOT given by diazonium compounds.
When BOTH N and S are present:
- If Na is in insufficient amount → NaSCN (thiocyanate) forms instead of NaCN
- SCN⁻ + Fe³⁺ → [Fe(SCN)]²⁺ → Blood red colour (instead of Prussian blue)
