Lithium nitrate on heating gives
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
In general, heating of alkali metal nitrates to elevated temperatures results in their decomposition with the formation of the nitrite ion And of oxygen as gaseous decomposition product.
But due to small size, lithium is exception here.
On heating, Lithium nitrate decomposes to form lithium oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
