Which of the following compounds does not give nitrogen on heating?
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
A brown-coloured mixture of two gases is obtained by reducing 6 N nitric acid with metallic copper. This mixture on cooling condenses to a blue liquid which on freezing (-30 oC) gives a blue solid. The correct statement for the blue liquid or solid is:
| 1. | It is referred to as the anhydride of nitrous acid. |
| 2. | It is an acidic oxide. Hence, it dissolves in alkalies producing nitrites. |
| 3. | It can also be prepared by the action of 50 % HNO3 on arsenious oxide and then cooling to 250 K. |
| 4. | All of the above. |
Which of the following statements is false?
| 1. | Nitrous oxide supports combustion more vigorously than air. |
| 2. | Phosphorous pentaoxide dehydrates nitric acid-forming nitrogen pentaoxide. |
| 3. | Reactivity order of various allotropic forms of phosphorous is white > red > black. |
| 4. | Red phosphorous changes to white phosphorus on heating in the atmosphere of CO 2 or coal gas at 573 K. |
