A metal `X` on heating in nitrogen gas gives `Y,Y` on treatment with `H_(2)O` gives a colourless gas which when passed through `CuSO_(4)` solution gives a blue colour. `Y` is:

A

`Mg(NO_(3))_(2)`

B

`Mg_(3)N_(2)`

C

`NH_(3)`

D

`MgO`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`underset((X))(3Ng)+N_(2)rarrunderset((Y))(Mg_(3)N_(2))`
`underset((Y))(Mg_(3)N_(2))+6H_(2)OrarrMg(OH)_(2)+2NH_(3)`
`4NH_(3)+CuSO_(4)+H_(2)Orarrunderset("Blue coloured solution")([Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]SO_(4).H_(2)O)`
