pBlock ElementsII 1 Question 8

8. The compound that does not produce nitrogen gas by the thermal decomposition is

(2018 Main)

(a) Ba(N3)2

(c) NH4NO2

(b) (NH4)2Cr2O7

(d) (NH4)2SO4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 8. (d)

Solution:

  1. The thermal decomposition of given compounds is shown below

(NH4)2Cr2O7ΔN2+4H2O+Cr2O3NH4NO2ΔN2+2H2O(NH4)2SO4Δ2NH3+H2SO4Ba(N3)2Ba+3N2

Thus, only (NH4)2SO4 does not gives N2 on heating (It give NH3 ). While rest of the given compounds gives N2 on their thermal decomposition.
