Heating a solution of ammonium chloride and sodium nitrite produces _—(ammonia/nitrogen)

Answer 1

• The chemical equation can be written as:
• $$\begin{gathered} {\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{NaNO}}_2\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\stackrel{\mathrm{Heat}}{\to }{\mathrm{NH}}_4{\mathrm{NO}}_2\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+\mathrm{NaCl}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{N}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right) \\ (\mathrm{ammonium}(\mathrm{sodium}(\mathrm{ammonium}(\mathrm{sodium}\left(\mathrm{nitrogen}\right)\left(\mathrm{water}\right) \\ \mathrm{chloride})\mathrm{nitrite})\mathrm{nitrite})\mathrm{chloride}) \end{gathered}$$
