`X=NaCN,Y=Na_(2)S`

B

`X=NaNC,Y=Na_(2)S`

C

`X=NaNO_(2),Y=Na_(2)SO_(4)`

D

`X=NaCN_(2),Y=Na_(2)SO_(4)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding Lassaigne's test, we will identify the compounds formed when nitrogen-containing and sulfur-containing organic compounds are fused with sodium metal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Lassaigne's Test**: - Lassaigne's test is a qualitative analysis method used to detect the presence of nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens in organic compounds. - In this test, the organic compound is fused with sodium metal, which converts the elements into their corresponding inorganic salts. 2. **Fusing Nitrogen-Containing Compounds**: - When a nitrogen-containing organic compound is fused with sodium, it forms sodium cyanide (NaCN). - This occurs because the nitrogen in the organic compound is converted into cyanide ion (CN⁻) during the fusion process. 3. **Fusing Sulfur-Containing Compounds**: - When a sulfur-containing organic compound is fused with sodium, it forms sodium sulfide (Na2S). - The sulfur in the organic compound is converted into sulfide ion (S²⁻) during the fusion. 4. **Identifying X and Y**: - From the above reactions, we can identify: - **X** (from nitrogen-containing compound) = NaCN (sodium cyanide) - **Y** (from sulfur-containing compound) = Na2S (sodium sulfide) 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the final answer is: - X = NaCN - Y = Na2S ### Summary: - X = Sodium Cyanide (NaCN) - Y = Sodium Sulfide (Na2S)
