To indicate the presence of nitrogen first we take the sodium fusion extract and add some basic and also add some fresh FeSo4 and cool it and add FeCl3 and acidify the solution with concentrated HCl. Then it turns to Prussian blue or Green color. It indicates the presence of Nitrogen. The steps takes place during this process.
NaOH+FeSO4 =>Fe(OH)2
Fe(OH)2+NaCN=>Na4[Fe(CN)6] +FeCl3
It gives rise to Fe4[Fe(CN)6]^-4 It is the Ferry Ferrocynamide.It is the color of Prussian blue.
