Q1 / 48 · JEE Advanced 2025 (Paper 1) · Chemistry

The heating of $\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_2$ at $60-70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_3$ at $200-250^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is associated with the formation of nitrogen containing compounds $\mathbf{X}$ and $\mathbf{Y}$, respectively. $\mathbf{X}$ and $\mathbf{Y}$, respectively, are

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\mathrm{N}_2$ and $\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{NH}_3$ and $\mathrm{NO}_2$
  • C
    NO and $\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{N}_2$ and $\mathrm{NH}_3$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_2 \xrightarrow[60-70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}]{\Delta} \mathrm{N}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \\ & \mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_3 \xrightarrow[200-250^{\circ} \mathrm{C}]{\Delta} \mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\end{aligned}$

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