Question

Ammonia reacts with a monobasic acid (A) to form a salt (B). B decompose at about 250^oC to give two products (C) and (D), leaving no residue. The oxide (D) is a liquid at room temperature and neutral to moist litmus, while gas (C) is a neutral  oxide. Identify A, B, C, D. Write the balanced equation involved the above process.

Answer 1

\[\ce{NH3 + HNO3 -> NH4NO3}\]

              (A)           (B)

\[\ce{NH4NO3 ->[250°C] N2O + 2H2O}\]

                                (C)            (D)
