Approach Solution - 1
To determine which elements are present in the organic compound based on the appearance of a blood red color, let's consider the chemistry involved in the test mentioned.
- When an organic compound containing nitrogen and sulfur is subjected to sodium fusion, elements like nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens form ionic compounds with sodium. For nitrogen-containing compounds, sodium reacts to form sodium cyanide (NaCN).
- The subsequent reaction with ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) is known as the Lassaigne's test, specifically for detecting nitrogen as part of a (NaCN) complex:
- The complex formation involves the following reactions:
- Sodium cyanide (NaCN) forms Fe2+Cyanide complex:
- The equations can be represented as: \(6NaCN + FeSO\_4 \rightarrow Na\_4[Fe(CN)\_6] + Na\_2SO\_4\)
- The formed Na4[Fe(CN)6] reacts with ferric ions (formed in situ by the oxidation of Fe2+ by concentrated H2SO4), resulting in: \(3Na\_4[Fe(CN)\_6] + 4Fe^{3+} + 12H^+ \rightarrow Fe_4[Fe(CN)\_6]_3 + 12Na^+ + 6H_2O\)
- This forms a Prussian blue color if nitrogen is present alone but a blood red color if sulfur is present along with nitrogen because of the formation of ferric thiocyanate (Fe(SCN)3).
- Therefore, the presence of both nitrogen and sulfur is needed to form the characteristic blood red color due to ferric thiocyanate.
This leads us to conclude that the appearance of a blood red color confirms the presence of both nitrogen and sulfur in the original organic compound.
Correct Answer: N & S
Approach Solution -2
The appearance of a blood red color upon this reaction indicates the presence of both nitrogen and sulphur in the compound, as they combine to form thiocyanate ions (SCN−), which react with Fe3+ to produce Fe(SCN)3 with the characteristic blood red color.
So, the correct answer is : N & S.

Classification of Organic Compounds
Organic Compounds can be classified into:
Classification based on the structure:
The classification of organic compounds is based on structure such as:
- Acyclic or open chain compounds - Acyclic compounds are just opposite to cyclic compounds because their molecules don’t form any ring. It is called open-chain compounds because they have a linear structure.
- Cyclic or closed chain compounds - Cyclic compounds are also known as “Ring compounds.”
