  • The chemical formula of sodium nitroprusside is:Na2[Fe(CN)5NO]
    if NO is neutral i.e 0,and CN is -1.then this formula can be return as [Fe(CN)5NO]2-
    we get by substituting let Fe be x,
    X+(-1)5+0=-2
    X-5=-2
    X=-2+5=+3
    => sodium pentacyanonitrosyl ferrate(III)
    If we NO is cation i.e NO- so the value will be -1
    Then
    X=+2
