Q25 / 90 · JEE Main 2018 (08 Apr) · Chemistry

The compound that does not produce nitrogen gas by thermal decomposition is:

  • Correct answer
    A
    NH42SO4
  • B
    BaN32
  • C
    NH42Cr2O7
  • D
    NH4NO2

Solution

(i)   NH42Cr2O7 →Δ Cr2O3+N2+4H2O

(ii)   NH4NO2 →Δ N2+2H2O

(iii)   NH42SO4 →Δ 2NH3+H2SO4

(iv)   BaN32 →Δ Ba+3N2

In reaction (iii) NH3 is evolved whereas in reaction 1, 2 and 4 N2 is evolved.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
