Question:

Which statement is not true with respect to nitrate ion test?

Updated On: Jul 6, 2024
  • A dark brown ring is formed at the junction of two solutions
  • Ring is formed due to nitroferrous sulphate complex
  • The brown complex is \([Fe(H_2O)_5 (NO)]SO_4\).
  • Heating the nitrate salt with conc. \(H_2SO_4\), light brown fumes are evolved.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Brown Ring Test
\(NO_3^−+3Fe^{2+}+4H^+ →NO+3Fe^{3+} + 2H_2O\)
\([Fe(H2O)6]^{2+} NO → [Fe(H_2O)_5NO]^{2+} H_2O\)
Brown ring

So, the correct option is (B): Ring is formed due to nitroferrous sulphate complex.

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
