Referring to the following reactions the missing products A, B, C, and D respectively are NH 4 Cl ( aq ) + NaNO 2 ( aq ) → [ A ] + H 2 O ( l ) + NaCl ( aq ) NH 4 2 Cr 2 O 7 → Δ B + H 2 O l + Cr 2 O 3 s Cu + HNO 3 ( dilute ) → Cu ( NO 3 ) 2 + [ C ] + H 2 O ( l ) Cu + HNO 3 ( concentrate ) → Cu ( NO 3 ) 2 + [ D ] + H 2 O ( l )
Options
- AN 2 , N 2 , NO , NO 2
- BN 2 , NH 3 , N 2 , NO
- CN 2 , N 2 , NO 2 , NO 2
- DN 2 , NH 3 , NO 2 , N 2 O 4
Correct answer
A. N 2 , N 2 , NO , NO 2
Step-by-step solution
(i) In the laboratory, dinitrogen is prepared by treating an aqueous solution of ammonium chloride with sodium nitrite. NH 4 Cl aq + NaNO 2 aq → N 2 g + 2 H 2 O l + NaCl aq Small amounts of NO and HNO 3 are also formed as impurities, which can be removed by passing the gas through aqueous sulphuric acid containing potassium dichromate. (ii) Dinitrogen can also be prepared by heating ammonium dichromate NH 4 2 Cr 2 O 7 s ⟶ Δ N 2 (g) + 4H 2 O l + Cr 2 O 3 s (iii) Copper metal reacts with dilute HNO 3 to form nitrog
