The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the observation when HNO₃ is added to sodium ferrocyanide, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: - The reactants in this case are sodium ferrocyanide (Na₄[Fe(CN)₆]) and nitric acid (HNO₃). 2. **Understand the Reaction**: - When HNO₃ is added to sodium ferrocyanide, a chemical reaction occurs. The nitric acid can act as an oxidizing agent. 3. **Write the Chemical Equation**: - The reaction can be represented as follows: \[ \text{Na}_4[\text{Fe(CN)}_6] + \text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{Na}_2[\text{Fe(CN)}_5\text{NO}] + \text{NH}_4^+ + \text{CO}_2 \] - In this reaction, sodium ferrocyanide reacts with nitric acid to form a new complex and other products. 4. **Identify the Products**: - The main product formed is sodium nitroferrocyanide, which can be represented as Na₂[Fe(CN)₅NO]²⁻. - Additionally, ammonium ions (NH₄⁺) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) are also produced. 5. **Observation**: - The formation of a new colored complex (often a deep blue or greenish solution) is typically observed when sodium ferrocyanide reacts with nitric acid. 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct observation when HNO₃ is added to sodium ferrocyanide is that sodium nitroferrocyanide (Na₂[Fe(CN)₅NO]²⁻) is formed, which indicates a successful reaction. ### Final Answer: When HNO₃ is added to sodium ferrocyanide, the observation is that sodium nitroferrocyanide (Na₂[Fe(CN)₅NO]²⁻) is formed. ---
