The Rothera nitroprusside test looks for ketone bodies in urine. It is done by taking 5 mL of urine and adding ten drops of concentrated ammonia water and solid ammonium sulfate. The sample is then analyzed after 15 minutes. If the sample turns purple, then that means there is acetoacetic acid in the urine.
Sodium nitroprusside is red in color due to the presence of the nitroprusside ion (Fe(CN)5NO), which absorbs light in the visible spectrum region corresponding to red light. This absorption of red light gives the compound its characteristic red color.
Nitroprusside test detects the presence of cysteine and cystine amino acids. These amino acids react with nitroprusside to form a purple color complex, indicating a positive test for cysteine or cystine.
Adding iodine to sodium hydroxide will result in brown color due to the formation of sodium iodide and sodium hypoiodite.

In the presence of acetone, sodium nitroprusside may undergo a chemical reaction known as the "acetone test." This reaction results in the formation of a red-violet color complex. The specific chemical reaction involved in this process is complex and involves the formation of various intermediates.

They mix. Acetone is soluble in water. It changes the color to a milky white, while thinning the water. Note: I had another chemical that's only soluble in acetone already dissolved in the acetone when I once tried adding water to increase the volume of the mixture. (I wasn't really thinking it through when I did it.) Anyways, this could be responsible for the color change, but I know that they do definitely mix, and it thins out the water. A potential benefit of the thinning aspect is that if you wanted the water to seep through a small opening, and you had a slow drip or no drip, after adding acetone it will go right through.
Acetone is a colorless liquid.
The yellow color of the flame is due only to sodium.
