Question 59
A non-metal A, which is the largest constituent of air, when heated with $H_{2}$ in 1:3 ratio in the presence of catalyst $Fe$ , gives a gas B.
On heating with $O_{2}$ , it gives an oxide C. If this oxide is passed into water in the presence of air it gives an acid D, which acts as a strong oxidising agent.
