Identify the reagents shown in bold in the following equations as nucleophiles or electrophiles:
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{HO}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COO}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
AnswerElectrophiles are electron-deficient species and can receive an electron pair. On the other hand, nucleophiles are electron-rich species and can donate their electrons.
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{HO}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COO}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
Here, $\mathrm{HO}^{-}$acts as a nucleophiles as it is an electron-rich species, i.e., it is a nucleus-seeking species.

- A
Electrophilic substitution.
- ✓

AnswerCorrect option: B. Nucleophilic substitution.
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{I}+\mathrm{KOH}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{Kl}$
In the given reaction, the $\mathrm{I}^{-}$from the alkyl iodide is replaced by the $\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ ion. Thus, it is substitution reaction.
The substitution is brought about by the $\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ ion which is a nucleophile.
$\because$ The reaction is a nucleophilic substitution reaction.

In the Lassaigne's test for nitrogen in an organic compound, the Prussian blue colour is obtained due to the formation of :
- A
$\mathrm{Na}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]$.
- ✓
$\mathrm{Fe}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_3$.
- C
$\mathrm{Fe}_2\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]$.
- D
$\mathrm{Fe}_3\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_4$.
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\mathrm{Fe}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_3$.
In the Lassaigne's test for nitrogen in an organic compound, the sodium fusion extract is boiled with iron $\text{(II)}$ sulphate and then acidified with sulphuric acid. In the process, sodium cyanide first reacts with iron $\text{(II)}$ sulphate and forms sodium hexacyanoferrate $\text{(II)}.$ Then, on heating with sulphuric acid, some iron $\text{(II)}$ gets oxidised to form iron $\text{(III)}$ hexacyanoferrate $\text{(II)},$ which is Prussian blue in colour. The chemical equations involved in the reaction can be represented as
$6 \mathrm{CN}^{-}+\mathrm{Fe}^{2+} \rightarrow\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{4-}$
$3\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{4-}+4 \mathrm{Fe}^{3+} \xrightarrow{3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}} \mathrm{Fe}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_3 \cdot \mathrm{xH}_2 \mathrm{O}$
Hence, the Prussian blue colour is due to the formation of $\mathrm{Fe}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]_3$.
