View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Identify the reacting species
- provides ions in solution.
- provides the ferrocyanide ion .
-
Nature of Prussian blue
Prussian blue is formed when reacts with ferrocyanide ion .
The compound formed is ferric ferrocyanide.
-
Write the neutral formula
Let the formula be:
Since:
- each outer iron is
- each ferrocyanide ion has charge
Charge balance gives:
The smallest integers satisfying this are:
Therefore, the formula is:
-
Match with the options
- A: → not charge balanced for and
- B: → correct
- C: → corresponds to a different charge balance, not Prussian blue here
- D: → incorrect
-
Conclusion
The prussian blue precipitate is due to formation of:
