Multiple choice chemistry preparation of gases nitrogen gas component of air - nitrogen nitrogen

Among the following compounds, which on heating do not produce ${N _2}$?

  1. (${NH _4}) _2 Cr _2 O _7$
  2. ${NH _4 Cl +Na NO _2}$
  3. ${NH _4 Cl+Ca O}$
  4. ${Ba(N _3) _2}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

(NH$ _4$)$ _2$Cr$ _2$O$ _7$ $\rightarrow$ N$ _2$ + Cr$ _2$O$ _3$ + H$ _2$O

NH$ _4$Cl + NaNO$ _2$ $\rightarrow$ N$ _2$ + H$ _2$O + NaCl

2 NH$ _4$Cl + CaO $\rightarrow$ 2 NH$ _3$ + CaCl$ _2$ + H$ _2$O

Ba(N$ _3$)$ _2$ $\xrightarrow{\text{heat}}$ Ba + 3N$ _2$

Thus, 2 NH$ _4$Cl + CaO will not produce N$ _2$.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{C}$

Heating a mixture of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and sodium nitrite (NaNO2) is a standard laboratory method for preparing pure nitrogen gas.

Multiple choice chemistry preparation of gases nitrogen gas component of air - nitrogen nitrogen

Nitrogen is obtained by the thermal decomposition of :

  1. $NH _4NO _2$
  2. $NH _4NO _3$
  3. $AgNO _3$
  4. $Pb(NO _3) _3$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Reactions are:

$NH _4NO _3\rightarrow N _2O+H _2O$

$NH _4NO _2\rightarrow N _2+H _2O$

$AgNO _3\rightarrow Ag+NO _2+1/2O _2$

So, nitrogen is obtained from $NH _4NO _2$

$(NH _4) _2Cr _2O _7$ on heating liberates gas. The same gas will be obtained by :

  1. heating $NH _4NO _2$
  2. heating $NH _4NO _3$
  3. treating $Mg _3N _2$ with $H _2O$
  4. heating $H _2O _2$ on $NaN0 _2$

A Correct answer
Explanation
On heating, $(NH _{4}) _{2}Cr _{2}O _{7}$ gives, nitrogen gas. 

$(NH _{4}) _{2}Cr _{2}O _{7}\rightarrow N _{2}+Cr _{2}O _{3}+4H _{2}O$
          (Orange)                                 (Green)

But whenever, $NH _4NO _2$ and $NH _4NO _3$ heated, then nitrogen and nitrogen dioxide gas liberated.

$NH _{4}NO _{2}\rightarrow N _{2}+2H _{2}O$

$NH _{4}NO _{3}\rightarrow N _{2}O+2H _{2}O$

So, the correct option is $A$

  1. ${K} _{4}[Fe{(CN)} _{6}]$ and ${H} _{2}$.
  2. $4{K} _{4}[Fe{(CN)} _{6}]+4H _2O$ and ${N} _{2}$.
  3. $4{K} _{4}[Fe{(CN)} _{6}]$ and ${H} _{2}$.
  4. none of these
