Question

Lithium nitrate and sodium nitrate, when heated separately, respectively, give : (A) LiNO 2 and NaNO 2 (B) Li 2 O and Na 2 O (C) Li 2 O and NaNO 2 (D) LiNO 2 and Na 2 O

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Li 2 O , NaNO 2 As per NCERT Lithium nitrate when heated gives lithium oxide, Li 2 O, whereas other alkali metal nitrates decompose to give the corresponding nitrite. 4 LiNO 3 longrightarrow 2 Li 2 O +4 NO 2+ O 2 2 NaNO 3 longrightarrow 2 NaNO 2+ O 2 However, the decomposition product of NaNO 3 are temperature dependent process as shown in the below reaction.

Q. Lithium nitrate and sodium nitrate, when heated separately, respectively, give :

$L i N O_{2}$ and $N a N O_{2}$

$L i_{2} O$ and $N a_{2} O$

$L i_{2} O$ and $N a N O_{2}$

$L i N O_{2}$ and $N a_{2} O$

Q. Lithium nitrate and sodium nitrate, when heated separately, respectively, give :

LiNO2​ and NaNO2​

Li2​O and Na2​O

Li2​O and NaNO2​

LiNO2​ and Na2​O

$L i N O_{2}$ and $N a N O_{2}$

$L i_{2} O$ and $N a_{2} O$

$L i_{2} O$ and $N a N O_{2}$

$L i N O_{2}$ and $N a_{2} O$
