Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement-I: In 'Lassaigne's Test', when both nitrogen and sulphur are present in an organic compound, sodium thiocyanate is formed.
Statement-II: If both nitrogen and sulphur are present in an organic compound, then the excess of sodium used in sodium fusion will decompose the sodium thiocyanate formed to give NaCN and .

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the option given below:

Step 1: Evaluate Statement I

"In Lassaigne's test, when both nitrogen and sulphur are present in an organic compound, sodium thiocyanate is formed."

✅ TRUE — When BOTH N and S are present during sodium fusion:

This is the first product formed before further decomposition. The  and  combine to form :

Statement I is TRUE.

Step 2: Evaluate Statement II

"If both nitrogen and sulphur are present in an organic compound, then the excess of sodium used in sodium fusion will decompose the sodium
