adding K4[Fe(CN)6] solution. (A) dissolves in dilute HCl with evolution of gas, which is
identical in all respect to (B). The gas (B) turns lime water milky, but the milkiness disappears
with the continuous passage of gas. The solution obtained by treating (A) with dil. HCl gives a
white precipitate (D) on the addition of excess NH4OH and passing H2S. Same solution
