(N/A) $(i)$ $A$ blood-red colour is obtained due to the formation of $[Fe(SCN)]^{2+}$.
$(ii)$ By adding $AgNO_3$,a pale yellow precipitate of $AgBr$ is formed.
$(iii)$ It indicates that sulphur is absent in the organic compound.
$(iv)$ $FeSO_4$ is added to react with $CN^-$ ions to form ferrocyanide ions,which then react with $Fe^{3+}$ ions.
$(v)$ It is due to the formation of ferric ferrocyanide,$Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3$.
$(vi)$ It indicates that sulphur is present in the compound,forming $Na_4[Fe(CN)_5NOS]$.
