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
-
Identify reagent from the given tests
The solution of 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 .
These are characteristic tests of .
In salt analysis:
- with potassium ferrocyanide, , gives Prussian blue:
ightarrow Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3$$
- with potassium ferricyanide, , gives a brown coloration due to ferric ferricyanide:
ightarrow Fe[Fe(CN)_6]$$
-
Identify from methylene blue formation
In strongly acidic medium, -amino--dimethylaniline reacts in presence of sulfide / hydrogen sulfide and then with to form methylene blue.
So:
- is sulfide-containing species,
- is .
This confirms our identification of .
-
Determine
Since , treatment with potassium hexacyanoferrate(III), i.e. , gives the brown compound:
ightarrow Fe[Fe(CN)_6]$$
Therefore,
-
Check options
- A: — magnesium salt, not relevant.
- B: — matches the brown ferric ferricyanide.
- C: — Prussian blue, formed with ferrocyanide, not ferricyanide.
- D: — zinc salt, not relevant.
-
Final answer
The compound is: Hence, the correct option is B.
