In Lassaigne sodium fusion test, $\mathrm{N}$ and $\mathrm{S}$ of an organic compounds are converted into
  1. $\mathrm{NaCN}$
  2. $\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}$
  3. $\mathrm{NaCNS}$
  4. NaNS

Solution

In Lassaigne sodium fusion test, $\mathrm{N}$ and $\mathrm{S}$ of an organic compounds are converted to $\mathrm{NaCN}$ (for nitrogen), $\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}$ (for sulphur) and sodium thiocyanate (NaCNS) (for sulphur and nitrogen).
