MCQ
The Lassaigne's extract is boiled with conc. $HNO_3$ while testing for halogens. By doing so it
  • ✓
    decomposes $Na_2S$ and $NaCN,$ formed
  • B
    helps in the precipitation of $AgCl$
  • C
    increases the solubility product of $AgCl$
  • D
    increases the concentration of $NO_3^-$ ions
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
decomposes $Na_2S$ and $NaCN,$ formed
a
$\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{S}$ and $\mathrm{NaCN},$ if present in the extract, will be

decomposed to $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{S}$ and $\mathrm{HCN}$ by $HNO_{3}$

$\mathrm{NaCN}+\mathrm{HNO}_{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{NaNO}_{3}+\mathrm{HCN}$

$\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{S}+2 \mathrm{HNO}_{3} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaNO}_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{S}$

These will escape from the solution and will not interfere with the test for halogens.
