How is nitrogen prepared in the laboratory? Write the chemical equation of the reactions involved. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :In the laboratory, nitrogen is prepared by treating an AQUEOUS solution of ammonium chloride with sodium nitrite. `NH_4Cl (aq) + NaNO_2 (aq) toN_2(g) + NaCl (aq)+2H_2O(l)` It may be noted that small AMOUNTS of NO and `HNO_3`are also formed in this reaction as impurities. These are REMOVED by passing the gas through aqueous SULPHURIC acid containing potassium dichromate. |
