Match the compounds in Column I with their characteristic test(s)/reaction(s) given in Column II. Indicate your answer by darkening the appropriate bubbles of the 4 × 4 matrix given in the ORS.

Column I Column II
(A) IIT-JEE 2008 Paper 2 Offline Chemistry - Compounds Containing Nitrogen Question 9 English 1 (P) sodium fusion extract of the compound gives Prussian blue colour with FeSO4.
(B) IIT-JEE 2008 Paper 2 Offline Chemistry - Compounds Containing Nitrogen Question 9 English 2 (Q) gives positive FeCl3 test.
(C) IIT-JEE 2008 Paper 2 Offline Chemistry - Compounds Containing Nitrogen Question 9 English 3 (R) gives white precipitate with AgNO3.
(D) IIT-JEE 2008 Paper 2 Offline Chemistry - Compounds Containing Nitrogen Question 9 English 4 (S) reacts with aldehydes to form the corresponding hydrazone derivative.

Multiple Choice Options

  • A A → (r, s); B → (p); C → (p, q); D → (s)
  • B A → (r, s); B → (p, q); C → (p, q, r); D → (p, s)
  • C A → (r); B → (p, q); C → (p, r); D → (p, s)
  • D A → (r); B → (p); C → (p, q, r); D → (s)

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

A, B, C, D will give NaCN in their sodium fusion extract. Adding FeSO4 will give Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 which is Prussian blue in colour.

B and C have Phenol group which gave positive result to FeCl3 test.

A, B, C, D both give precipitate with AgNO3 but only A and C will give pure white precipitate.

A and D can only give hydrazone derivative in reaction with aldehyde.
