Nitrogen gas is obtained by thermal decomposition of:
Options
- ANaNO 2
- BNaNO 3
- CBa N 3 2
- DBa NO 3 2
Correct answer
C. Ba N 3 2
Step-by-step solution
NaNO 3 → ∆ NaNO 2 + 1 2 O 2 (Thermally stable and does not undergo decomposition further) Ba N 3 2 → ∆ Ba + 3 N 2 2 Ba NO 3 2 → ∆ 2 BaO + 4 NO 2 + O 2
