Qualitative analysis of organic compounds is performed by Lassaigne's test by fusion with metallic sodium, by which the covalent compounds are converted into ionic compounds. Extra elements like N, S, P, and halogens are detected by their usual tests Which of the following compounds will give positive Lassaigne's test for nitrogen

Question

Qualitative analysis of organic compounds is performed by Lassaigne's test by fusion with metallic sodium, by which the covalent compounds are converted into ionic compounds. Extra elements like N, S, P, and halogens are detected by their usual tests Which of the following compounds will give positive Lassaigne's test for nitrogen (A) NH 2 OH (B) NH 2 NH 2 (C) KCN (D)

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Positive Lassaigne's test is given by the compound which contains both C and N. Moreover, this test is not given by diazonium compounds because they lose N 2 on heating much before they react with Na

$N H_{2} O H$

$N H_{2} N H_{2}$

$K CN$

Positive Lassaigne's test is given by the compound which contains both $C$ and $N$ . Moreover, this test is not given by diazonium compounds because they lose $N_{2}$ on heating much before they react with $N a$

NH2​OH

NH2​NH2​

KCN

Positive Lassaigne's test is given by the compound which contains both C and N. Moreover, this test is not given by diazonium compounds because they lose N2​ on heating much before they react with Na

$N H_{2} O H$

$N H_{2} N H_{2}$

$K CN$

Positive Lassaigne's test is given by the compound which contains both $C$ and $N$ . Moreover, this test is not given by diazonium compounds because they lose $N_{2}$ on heating much before they react with $N a$
