Solution
Brown ring test -
Nitric acid in a test tube is taken and then and then freshly prepared ferrous sulphate solution is added. Concentrated H2SO4 is then added carefully down the sides of the test tube, dark brown ring is formed at the junction of two layers.
\[\ce{6FeSO4 + 3H2SO4 + 2HNO3 -> 3Fe2(SO4)3 + 2NO + 4H2O}\]
\[\ce{FeSO4 + NO + 5H2O -> \underset{\text{Hydrated nitrosoferrous sulphate(brown ring)}}{[Fe(NO)(H2O)5]SO4}}\]
