When bauxite powder is mixed with coke and reacted with nitrogen at \(2075 \mathrm{~K}\), carbon monoxide and \(X\) are formed. What is the gas formed when \(X\) is reacted with water?

  1. A \(\mathrm{NH}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{N}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{O}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{NH}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Bauxite powder reacts with coke and nitrogen as follows. \(\underset{\text { Bauxite }}{\mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{O}_3}+3 \mathrm{C}+\mathrm{N}_2 \stackrel{2 \mathrm{U} / 5 \mathrm{~K}}{\longrightarrow} \underset{(\mathrm{X})}{2 \mathrm{AlN}}+3 \mathrm{CO}\)…
