Solution

A reagent that can detect any of Cu2+,Fe3+,Zn2+ and Cd2+ is potassium ferrocyanide K4[Fe(CN)6].
Fe(III) ions give deep blue colour with potassium ferrocyanide.
3K4[Fe(CN)6]+4FeCl3Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3purssian,sblu+12KCl
Potassium ferrocyanide reacts with Zn(II) ions to form bluish white precipitate of Zn2[Fe(CN)6].
Potassium ferrocyanide reacts with Cd(II) ions to form bluish white precipitate of Cd2[Fe(CN)6].
Potassium ferrocyanide reacts with Cu(II) ions to form reddish brown precipitate of Cu2[Fe(CN)6
