MCQ
Sodium extract gives blood red colour when treated with $\ce{FeCl_3}$​. Formation of blood red colour confirms the presence of:
  • A
    Only nitrogen
  • B
    Only sulphur
  • C
    Only halogens
  • Both nitrogen and sulphur

Answer

Correct option: D.
Both nitrogen and sulphur
$Na + N + C + S \rightarrow \text{NaSCN} ($Sodium thiocyanate$)$
$\mathrm{SCN}^{-}+\mathrm{Fe}^{+} \rightarrow[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{SCN})]^{2+} ($Ferric thiocyanate$) ($Blood$-$red colour$)$
It confirms the presence of both $N$ and $S$.
