Question

10 ml of a compound containing N and O is mixed with 30 ml of H2 to produce H2O and 10 ml N2. Molecular formula of compound if both reactants reacts completely

NO2
N2O3
N2O5

Solution

The correct answer is option C – N2O3

According to the given statement, the equation will be -

10 ml of NxOy + 30 ml of H2 gives 10 ml of N2 + H2O

Assuming that 1 mol of the compound is used, the partially balanced equation will be 1NxOy + 3H2 gives 1N2 + H2O

By balancing the N, H, and O atoms on both the sides, we get the equation as – N2O3 + 3H2 ⟶ N2 + 3H2O

Therefore, the formula of the compound is N2O3.
