Question

Nitrolim is a mixture of

• A. CaC₂ and Ga
• B. CaCN₂ and C
• C. Ca(CN)₂ and Ga
• D. CaCN₂ and N₂

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Nitrolim is a mixture of $ {CaCN_2}$ and graphite (c) which is used as fertilizer. Option (b) is correct.

Answer 2

Nitrolim, commonly known as calcium cyanide, is a chemical compound. However, it is known as "lime nitrogen" in the commercial world. The term nitrolim is an abbreviation for nitro-lime. CaCN₂ is the chemical formula for calcium cyanide.
Nitrolim thus has the same chemical formula as calcium cyanide.
Let's have a look at how calcium cyanide is made:
Adolph Frank and Nikodem Caro initially synthesized calcium cyanide in 1898 (the reaction is known as the Frank-Caro method).
When nitrogen is run over calcium carbide at an appropriate temperature (i.e., approximately 1000\(^{\circ}\) – 1100\(^{\circ}\)C), we produce nitrolim, which is a combination of calcium cyanide and carbon. The following is a balanced chemical reaction:
CaC₂+N₂→CaCN₂+C
By fusing nitrolim with sodium carbonate, sodium cyanide is produced. The reaction can be represented as CaCN₂+Na₂CO₃+2C₂NaCN+CaO+2CO.
As a result, the products created are calcium cyanide (CaCN₂) and carbon, which we might call graphite (a crystalline form of carbon).

Answer 3

Nitrolim is a compound composed of calcium cyanamide and graphite. 
CaC₂+N₂ CaNCN+C is the reaction.
