Which combinations give an intense blue precipitate immediately (air excluded) in the cation tests?

  1. A with
  2. B with
  3. C with
  4. D with

Answer: A, B

Fe(II) with hexacyanoferrate(III) gives Turnbull's blue, and Fe(III) with hexacyanoferrate(II) gives Prussian blue (both -CN- mixed-valence solids). Fe(III) with only gives a brown-green solution, and Fe(II) with gives a white precipitate that turns blue only on air oxidation.
