Qualitative Analysis - Result Question 62

####65. An orange solid A on heating gave a green residue B, a colourless gas C and water vapour. The dry gas C on passing over heated Mg gave a white solid D.D on reaction with water gave a gas E which formed dense white fumes with HCl. Identify A to E and give the reaction involved.

Solution:

  1. A Orange solid ΔB Green +C Colourless +H2O(v)

C+MgD (white solid) 

D+H2OE(g)HCl White fumes.

Hence, E must be ammonia gas so D must be Mg3N2 and C is N2(g). This N2 is obtained on strong heating of (NH4)2Cr2O7 because (NH4)2Cr2O7 is orange solid and produces green Cr2O3 residue on heating.
