Solution

The ‘brown ring test’ is a qualitative analysis test used to detect the presence of nitrate ions (NO₃⁻) in a solution. The test involves adding a few drops of iron(II) sulfate to the solution containing nitrate ions and then carefully adding concentrated sulfuric acid. If nitrate ions are present, a brown ring forms at the interface between the sulfuric acid and the aqueous solution. This brown ring is due to the formation of a complex between iron(II) ions and the produced nitrous acid that forms during the reaction.

So, the correct option is:

Final Answer

C. Nitrate ion
