Extra pure N ₂ can be obtained by heating
Options
- ANH ₃ with CuO
- BNH ₄ NO ₄
- C( NH ₄ )₂ Cr ₂ O ₇
- DBa ( N ₃ )₂
Correct answer
D. Ba ( N ₃ )₂
Step-by-step solution
Ba ( N ₃ )₂ Heat Ba ( s )+3 ~N ₂( ~g ) Azide salt of barium can be obtained in purest form as well as the decomposition product contain solid Ba as byproduct along with gaseous nitrogen, hence no additional step of separation is required. Other reactions are:
