Question:medium

‘X’ is the nitrogen containing compound which is added to freshly prepared FeSO\(_4\) and dilute H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) to form a brown ring complex ‘Y’.
Identify X and Y.

Show Hint

The formation of a brown ring complex is a classical test for the presence of nitrate ions, where NO binds to Fe\(^{2+}\) in the presence of dilute H\(_2\)SO\(_4\).

  • NO; [Fe(NO)]SO\(_4\)
  • N\(_2\)O; [Fe(N\(_2\)O)]SO\(_4\)
  • NO\(_2\); [Fe(NO\(_2\))]SO\(_4\)
  • N\(_2\)O\(_4\); [Fe(N\(_2\)O\(_4\))]SO\(_4\)
