Question

Write balanced equation for action of heat on sodium nitrate?

Answer 1

• The chemical reaction can be written as :
• $$\begin{gathered} 2{\mathrm{NaNO}}_3\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\stackrel{\mathrm{Heat}}{\to }2{\mathrm{NaNO}}_2\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\uparrow \\ (\mathrm{Sodium}(\mathrm{Sodium}\left(\mathrm{oxygen}\right) \\ \mathrm{nitrate})\mathrm{nitrite})\mathrm{S} \end{gathered}$$
