Q16 / 60 · JEE Advanced 2009 (Paper 1) · Chemistry
Paragraph:
p-amino-N, N-dimethylaniline is added to a strongly acidic solution of $X$. The resulting solution is treated with a few drops of aqueous solution of $Y$ to yield blue colouration due to the formation of methylene blue. Treatment of the aqueous solution of $Y$ with the reagent potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) leads to the formation of an intense blue precipitate. The precipitate dissolves an excess addition of the reagent. Similarly, treatment of the solution of $Y$ with the solution of potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) leads to a brown colouration due to the formation of $Z$.Question:
The compound $X$, is
- A$\mathrm{NaNO}_3$
- B$\mathrm{NaCl}$
- C$\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$
- Correct answerD$\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
