The appropriate reduction potentials suggest that hydroxylamine should disproportionate .It disproportionate slowly in acidic solutions to give

Options

A. `N_(2)O`and `NH_(4)^(+)`
B. `N_(2)` and `NH_(3)`
C. `NO` and `NH_(3)`
D. `NO_(2)` and `NH_(4)^(+)`

Answer

1

Explanation

`4[overset(-1)(N)H_(2)OH.H]^(+)rarroverset(+1)N_(2)O+2overset(-3)NH_(4)^(+)+2H^(+)+3H_(2)O`
It disproportionatesrapidly in alkaline solutions:
