Question

When sodium nitrate is heated above $ \text{600}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C,} $ then:

• A. only $ \text{N}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O} $ is formed
• B. only $ {{\text{N}}_{2}} $ is formed
• C. only $ {{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}} $ is formed
• D. all are formed

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

On heating $ \text{NaN}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}} $ above $ \text{600}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}\,\text{N}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O,}\,{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}} $ and $ {{\text{N}}_{2}} $ all is obtained as: $ 4NaN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{800{{\,}^{o}}C}2N{{a}_{2}}O+5{{O}_{2}}+2{{N}_{2}} $
