Solution

The correct option is D

CaCN2


When nitrogen is made to react with calcium carbide at 1000ºC - 1100ºC temperature, a mixture of calcium cynamide and black-coloured carbon is produced. This mixture is called nitrolim. It is used as an inorganic nitrogen-containing fertilizer.

N2+CaC2ΔCa[NCN]+C

On hydrolysis, it releases ammonia that could be used by plants (nitrogen fixation via a chemical compound):

CaCN2+3H2O2NH3+CaCO3
