MCQ
Extra pure $N_2$ can be obtained by heating :-
  • A
    $NH_4NO_2$
  • B
    $(NH_4)_2Cr_2O_7$
  • $Ba(N_3)_2$
  • D
    $NH_3$ with $CuO$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$Ba(N_3)_2$
c
Very pure nitrogen can be obtained by the thermal decomposition of sodium or barium azide.

$2 \mathrm{NaN}_{3} \stackrel{573 \mathrm{K}}{\longrightarrow} 2 \mathrm{Na}+3 \mathrm{N}_{2}$

Azide salt of barium can be obtained in the purest form as well as the decomposition product contains solid Ba as a by-product along with gaseous nitrogen, hence no additional step of

separation is required.

$\mathrm{Ba}\left(\mathrm{N}_{3}\right)_{2} \stackrel{\text { heat }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Ba}+3 \mathrm{N}_{2}$

Hence, option $\mathrm{C}$ is correct.
