The correct Answer is:
To determine what Prussian blue is, we need to analyze the options given and understand the chemistry behind Prussian blue formation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Prussian Blue**: Prussian blue is a complex compound formed from iron and cyanide ions. It is known for its deep blue color. 2. **Identifying the Chemical Formula**: The chemical formula for Prussian blue can be represented as \( Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3 \). This indicates that it consists of iron ions and cyanide ions. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1**: \( Na_4[Fe(CN)_6] \) - This is not Prussian blue; it is a different complex known as sodium ferrocyanide. - **Option 2**: \( Na_3[Fe(CN)_6] \) - This is also not Prussian blue; it is sodium ferricyanide. - **Option 3**: \( Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3 \) - This matches the known formula for Prussian blue. - **Option 4**: \( Na_2SO_4 \) - This is sodium sulfate and not related to Prussian blue. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Option 3: \( Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3 \)**, which is the formula for Prussian blue.
