The reaction of K3[Fe(CN)6] with freshly prepared FeSO4 solution produces a dark blue precipitate called Turnbull’s blue. Reaction of K4 [Fe(CN)6] with the FeSO4 solution in complete absence of air produces a white precipitate X, which turns blue in air. Mixing the FeSO4 solution with NaNO3, followed by a slow addition of concentrated H2SO4 through the side of the test tube produces a brown ring.
Precipitate X is (2021)
  1. \(\mathrm{Fe}_{4}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]_{3}\)
  2. \(\mathrm{Fe}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]\)
  3. \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Fe}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]\)
  4. \(\mathrm{KFe}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]\)

Answer

(C) K _ 2 Fe [ Fe ( CN )_ 6 ]
