For testing halogens in an organic compound with `AgNO_(3)` solution, sodium extract (Lassaigne's test) is acidified with dilute `HNO_(3)`. What will happen if a student acidifies the extract with dilute `H_(2)SO_(4)` in place of dilute `HNO_(3)` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

To decompose NaCN or `Na_2 S.` These are present in Lassiagne solution if the compound contains N or S and interfere in the test of halogens.
