In nitrate ion test, the Brown Ring is formed due to the formation of nitrosoferrous sulphate not nitroferrous sulphate . Hence statement given in Option (2) is incorrect.

Nitrosoferrous sulphate : \left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{5}(\mathrm{NO})] \mathrm{SO}_{4}\right..
                                             (Brown ring)
