JEE Main 2020 (02 Sep Shift 1)

Question

On heating compound A gives a gas B which is constituent of air. This gas when treated with H2 in the presence of a catalyst gives another gas C which is basic in nature. A should not be :

Correct answer
BPbNO32

Step-by-step explanation

PbNO32ΔPbO+2NO2

N2 gas is constituent of air and it produces ammonia gas (basic nature) after reacting with H2 gas.

NH4NO2, (NH4)2Cr2O7 and NaN3 give nitrogen gas on heating but lead nitrate doesn't give nitrogen gas so it will be answer.

NH4NO2ΔN2+2H2O

NH42Cr2O7ΔN2+Cr2O3+H2O
