[A brown ring of nitroso ferrous sulphate is formed at the junction of the two liquids]
Answer
Nitric acidComplete and balance the equations
32. Heat on nitric acid4HNO3Δ2H2O+4NO2[g]+O2[g]4\text{HNO}_3 \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2\text{H}_2\text{O} + \bold{4NO}_\bold{2}[g] + \bold{O}_\bold{2} [g]
[reddish brown fumes evolved]
33. Heat on copper and conc. HNO3Cu+4HNO3ΔCu(NO3)2+2H2O+2NO2[g]\text{Cu} + 4\text{HNO}_3 \xrightarrow{\Delta} \bold{Cu(NO}_3)_2 + \bold{2H}_2\bold{O} + \bold{2NO}_2[g]
[dense reddish brown fumes evolved - blue solution remains]
34. Brown ring test6FeSO4 + 3H2SO4 + 2HNO33Fe2(SO4)3 + 4H2O +2NO
[FeSO4 + NO ⟶ FeSO4.NO]
[A brown ring of nitroso ferrous sulphate is formed at the junction of the two liquids]
