In the Lassaigne test for nitrogen, the Prussian blue colour is due to the formation of
AFeX3[Fe(CN)X6]X2
BNaX4[Fe(CN)X6]
CFeX4[Fe(CN)X6]X3
DFe(SCN)X3
Answer: C
Nitrogen is converted to NaCN on sodium fusion. With FeSOX4 this gives NaX4[Fe(CN)X6], and the FeX3+ formed by air oxidation then gives ferric ferrocyanide, FeX4[Fe(CN)X6]X3, which is Prussian blue.
