Solution
The correct option is B(NH4)2Cr2O7 (NH4)2Cr2O7 on heating gives N2(g). (NH4)2Cr2O7△→N2+Cr2O3+4H2O
whereas compounds is (a), (c) and (d) all gives oxygen on heating.
(a) 4K2Cr2O7△→4K2CrO4+2Cr2O3+3O2
When K2Cr2O7 is heated it decomposes with the evolution of O2.
(c) 2KClO3△→2KCl+3O2(g)
Potassium chlorate
(d) Zn(ClO3)2△→ZnCl2+3O2(g)
Zinc chlorate
