Chemistry Question on Structural Representations Of Organic Compounds
The Lassaignes solution of an organic compound with nitrogen; sulphur and chlorine contains:
A
NaCN,Na2S,NaCl
B
KCN,K2S,KCl
C
AgCl,NaCN,K2S
D
NaNC,FeSO4,KCl
Answer
NaCN,Na2S,NaCl
Explanation
Solution
In Lassaignes solution, If N is present in organic compound, it is present as NaCN in Lassaignes solution. If S is present in organic compound then in Lassaignes solution, it is present as Na2S. If N and S both are present in organic compound then in Lassaignes solution these are present as NaSCN. If halogens are present in organic compound then in Lassaignes solution. halogens are present as NaX (NaCI, NaBr, Nal).
