Describe the reactions involved in the detection of nitrogen in an organic compound by Lassaigne method.

Explain the method for the detection of phosphorus.

What is the colour of the ammonium phosphomolybdate precipitate which is formed during the detection of phosphorus?

For the detection of phosphorus, the organic compound after fusion with is extracted with water, boiled with and then ammonium molybdate added to it. A yellow precipitate is obtained which is due to formation of:
