B. To about 10 mg in a test tube add 1 ml of sodium carbonate solution, heat to boiling for 30 seconds and cool (solution A) .To a further 10 mg in a test tube add 1 ml of sodium carbonate solution, the substance partly dissolves (solution B). Add at the same time to each of solutions A and B 5 ml of aminophenazone solution and 1 ml of potassium ferricyanide solution and mix. Solution B is yellow to orange brown. Solution A is orange to Red and the colour is clearly more intense than any similar colour that may be obtained with solution B..
