Question
Why is freshly prepared ferrous sulphate solution used for testing the nitrate radical in the brown ring test?
Advertisements
Solution
We use freshly prepared ferrous sulphate solution because exposure to air, such as storing it in a reagent bottle, causes it to oxidise to ferric sulphate solution. The [NO] molecule will not form an additive compound with ferric sulphate; hence, the brown ring test will not be successful.
