JEE AdvancedChemistrySalt AnalysisMCQ+3 / −1
p-Amino-N, N-dimethylaniline is added to a strongly acidic solution of X. The resulting solution is treated with a few drops of aqueous solution of Y to yield blue colouration due to the formation of methylene blue. Treatment of the aqueous solution of Y with the reagent potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) leads to the formation of an intense blue precipitate. The precipitate dissolves on excess addition of the reagent. Similarly, treatment of the solution of Y with the solution of potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) leads to a brown coloration due to the formation of Z.The compound Z is

Correct answer: B

  1. Identify reagent YYY from the given tests

    The solution of YYY gives:

    • with potassium hexacyanoferrate(II), an intense blue precipitate that dissolves in excess reagent,
    • with potassium hexacyanoferrate(III), a brown coloration due to formation of ZZZ.

    These are characteristic tests of Fe3+Fe^{3+}Fe3+.

    In salt analysis:

    • Fe3+Fe^{3+}Fe3+ with potassium ferrocyanide, K4[Fe(CN)6]K_4[Fe(CN)_6]K4​[Fe(CN)6​], gives Prussian blue:

ightarrow Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3$$

  • Fe3+Fe^{3+}Fe3+ with potassium ferricyanide, K3[Fe(CN)6]K_3[Fe(CN)_6]K3​[Fe(CN)6​], gives a brown coloration due to ferric ferricyanide:

ightarrow Fe[Fe(CN)_6]$$

  1. Identify XXX from methylene blue formation

    In strongly acidic medium, ppp-amino-N,NN,NN,N-dimethylaniline reacts in presence of sulfide / hydrogen sulfide and then with Fe3+Fe^{3+}Fe3+ to form methylene blue.

    So:

    • XXX is sulfide-containing species,
    • YYY is Fe3+Fe^{3+}Fe3+.

    This confirms our identification of YYY.

  2. Determine ZZZ

    Since Y=Fe3+Y = Fe^{3+}Y=Fe3+, treatment with potassium hexacyanoferrate(III), i.e. K3[Fe(CN)6]K_3[Fe(CN)_6]K3​[Fe(CN)6​], gives the brown compound:

ightarrow Fe[Fe(CN)_6]$$

Therefore, Z=Fe[Fe(CN)6]Z = Fe[Fe(CN)_6]Z=Fe[Fe(CN)6​]

  1. Check options

    • A: Mg2[Fe(CN)6]Mg_2[Fe(CN)_6]Mg2​[Fe(CN)6​] — magnesium salt, not relevant.
    • B: Fe[Fe(CN)6]Fe[Fe(CN)_6]Fe[Fe(CN)6​] — matches the brown ferric ferricyanide.
    • C: Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3Fe4​[Fe(CN)6​]3​ — Prussian blue, formed with ferrocyanide, not ferricyanide.
    • D: K2Zn3[Fe(CN)6]2K_2Zn_3[Fe(CN)_6]_2K2​Zn3​[Fe(CN)6​]2​ — zinc salt, not relevant.
  2. Final answer

    The compound ZZZ is: Fe[Fe(CN)6]\boxed{Fe[Fe(CN)_6]}Fe[Fe(CN)6​]​ Hence, the correct option is B.
