Question

In a reaction, 3 mol of electrons are gained by 1 mol of HNO 3. Assuming no change in O.N. of hydrogen and oxygen, the possible product obtained due to reduction will be (A) 1 mol of NO 2 (B) 0.5 mol of N 2 O (C) 1 mol of NO (D) 0.5 mol of N 2 O 3

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

O.N. of N in the product =+5-3=+2 Hence product is NO.

Q. In a reaction, $3$ mol of electrons are gained by $1$ mol of $H N O_{3}$ . Assuming no change in O.N. of hydrogen and oxygen, the possible product obtained due to reduction will be

$1 m o l$ of $N O_{2}$

$0.5 m o l$ of $N_{2} O$

$1 m o l$ of $NO$

$0.5 m o l$ of $N_{2} O_{3}$

O.N. of $N$ in the product $= + 5 - 3 = + 2$

Hence product is NO.

Q. In a reaction, 3 mol of electrons are gained by 1 mol of HNO3​. Assuming no change in O.N. of hydrogen and oxygen, the possible product obtained due to reduction will be

1mol of NO2​

0.5mol of N2​O

1mol of NO

0.5mol of N2​O3​
