A black compound of manganese reacts with a halogen acid to give greenish-yellow gas. When an excess of this gas reacts with NH3 an unstable trihalide is formed. In this process, the oxidation state of nitrogen changes from-

1. -3 to +3

2. -3 to 0

3. -3 to +5

4. 0 to -3

On addition of conc. H2SO4 to a chloride salt, colorless fumes are evolved but in case of iodide salt, violet fumes come out. This is because

1. H2SO4  reduces HI to I2

2. HI is of violet colour

3. HI gets oxidised to I2

4. HI changes to HIO3
