It contains the complex ion:
-
Recall the characteristic test
Prussian blue is a deep blue coloured compound formed when ferric ions react with ferrocyanide ions .
The reaction is commonly represented as:
This compound is called Prussian blue.
-
Check each option
A:
- Provides ions, not .
- Does not give Prussian blue.
B:
- Provides ions.
- with ferrocyanide gives a pale/white precipitate (ferrous ferrocyanide), not Prussian blue.
- So this is not correct.
C:
- Provides ions.
- Does not give Prussian blue.
D:
- Provides ions.
- reacts with potassium ferrocyanide to give Prussian blue.
- Hence this is correct.
-
Conclusion
The solution of potassium ferrocyanide gives Prussian blue colour with:
So the correct option is D.
