The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reaction that occurs when potassium cyanide (KCN) is mixed with iron(II) cyanide (Fe(CN)₂). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants:** - We have potassium cyanide (KCN) and iron(II) cyanide (Fe(CN)₂). 2. **Write the Chemical Reaction:** - When KCN is mixed with Fe(CN)₂, it can be represented as: \[ 4 \text{KCN} + \text{Fe(CN)}_2 \rightarrow \text{K}_4\text{Fe(CN)}_6 + 4 \text{K}^+ + 2 \text{Fe}^{2+} \] - Here, potassium cyanide reacts with iron(II) cyanide to form potassium ferrocyanide (K₄[Fe(CN)₆]) and potassium ions (K⁺) along with iron ions (Fe²⁺). 3. **Identify the Product:** - The main product of the reaction is potassium ferrocyanide (K₄[Fe(CN)₆]), which is a complex ion. 4. **Testing for the Product:** - Potassium ferrocyanide can be tested using a specific reagent. When potassium ferrocyanide is treated with a ferric ion (Fe³⁺), it forms a blue precipitate known as "Turnbull's Blue" or "Prussian Blue," which indicates the presence of ferrocyanide ions. 5. **Conclusion:** - The resulting solution from mixing KCN and Fe(CN)₂ will give a positive test for ferrocyanide ions (Fe(CN)₆⁴⁻). ### Final Answer: The resulting solution will give a test for **ferrocyanide ions (Fe(CN)₆⁴⁻)**.
