Derivative of nitrogen (III) act as

Options

  1. AOxidizing agent only
  2. Breducing agent only
  3. Cboth oxidizing and reducing agent
  4. Dnitrating agent

Correct answer

C. both oxidizing and reducing agent

Step-by-step solution

Derivatives of nitrogen (III) has both oxidizing and reducing properties as it is having intermediate oxidation state 2 N a N O 2 + 3 O x i d a n t + 2 K I + 2 H 2 S O 4 → I 2 + 2 N O + 2 + K 2 S O 4 + N a 2 S O 4 + 2 H 2 O 2 K M n O 4 + 5 N a N O 2 + 3 ( Reductant ) + 3 H 2 S O 4 → 2 M n S O 4 + 5 N a N O + 5 3 + K 2 S O 4 + 3 H 2 O
