Which of the following compound does not give dinitrogen on heating?

  1. A \(\mathrm{Ba}\left(\mathrm{N}_3\right)_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_3\)
  4. D \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Among the given compounds, only
ammonium nitrate does not produces \(\mathrm{N}_2\) gas on decomposition.
\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Ba}\left(\mathrm{N}_3\right)_2 \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Ba}+3 \mathrm{~N}_2 \\ & \mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_2 \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{N}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \\ & \mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_3 \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \\ & \left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7 \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+\mathrm{N}_2+4 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\end{aligned}\)
