  2. B \(\mathrm{NO}_2, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{N}_2, \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{OH})_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{N}_2, \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(c) The thermal decomposition of ammonium dichromate produces nitrogen gas, chromium (III) oxide and water vapour. \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7 \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{N}_2+\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_3+4 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
