The reaction of K3[Fe(CN)6] with freshly prepared FeSO4 solution produces a dark blue precipitate called Turnbull’s blue. The reaction of K4[Fe(CN)6] with the FeSO4 solution in the complete absence of air produces a white precipitate X, which turns blue in the air. Mixing the FeSO4 solution with NaNO3, followed by slow addition of concentrated H2SO4 through the side of the test tube produces a brown ring.
