Q13 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (01 Feb Shift 2) · Chemistry
Lassaigne's test is used for detection of:
- ANitrogen and Sulphur only
- BNitrogen, Sulphur and Phosphorous Only
- CPhosphorous and halogens only
- Correct answerDNitrogen, Sulphur, and halogens
Solution
Lassaigne's test helps to detect Nitrogen, Sulphur, and Halogens in organic compounds. Here, sodium metal is heated in the presence of the organic compound inside a fusion tube. The primary objective of this test is that all the available elements are converted by Sodium metal into the ionic state. Lassaigne test reaction for sodium is given below:
In the third experiment, can be anything such as or .
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
