To a solution of an unknown compound, a little dilute tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid was added with some freshly prepared iron (II) tetraoxosulphate (VI) solution. The brown ring observed after the addition of a stream of concentrated tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid confirmed the presence of?

A.

CO\(^{2-}_{3}\)

B.

Cl-

C.

SO\(_{3}^{2-}\)

D.

NO\(^{2-}_{3}\)

Correct answer is D

NO\(_{3}^{-}\) is confirmed, then the brown ring is due to the formation of FESO\(_4\).NO
