Question

Assertion (A): $N{H}_{4}N{O}_3$ on gently heating gives $N_{2}O$
Reason(R) : $N_{2}O$ is acidic in nature
The correct answer is :

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is true and (R) is false
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true

Answer 1

The correct option is C (A) is true and (R) is false

$N_{2}O$ is neutral so R is false
$N{H}_{4}N{O}_3\stackrel{\Delta }{\to }{N}_{2}O+2H_{2}O$
