On heating compound (A) gives a gas (B) ...

On heating compound (A) gives a gas (B) which is a constituent of air.
This gas when treted with 3 moles of hydrogen `(H_(2))` in the presence of a catalyat gives another gas (C ) which is basic in nature. Gas C on further oxidation in moist condition gives a compound (D) which is a part of acid rain. Identify compounds (A) to (D) and also give necessary equations of all the steps involved .

(i) Since gas 'B' on heating with 3 moles of hydrogen in presence of a catalyst, gives a gas 'C' which is basic in nature, therefore, 'C' must be ammonia `(NH_(3))` and gas (B) must be `N_(2)`
`underset((B))(N_(2))+3H_(2) overset(Delta, "Catalyst")rarr underset("Ammonia (C)")(2 NH_(3))`
(ii) Since gas 'B' (i.e., `N_(2)`) is obtained by heating compound (A), therefore, compound (A) must be either ammonium nitrite or ammonium dichromate
`underset((A))(NH_(4))NO_(2) overset(Delta)rarr underset((B))(N_(2))+2H_(2)O or underset((A))((NH_(4))_(2))Cr_(2)O_(7) overset(Delta)rarr underset((B))(N_(2))+Cr_(2)O_(3) + 4 H_(2) O`
(iii) Since gas 'C', (i.e., `NH_(3)`) on further oxidation in moist conditions gives compound (D) which is a part of acid rain, therefore, compound (D) must be nitric acid `(HNO_(3))`.
`{:(underset((C))(4NH_(3))+5O_(2) overset("Oxidation")rarr 4 NO + 6 H_(2)O),(2 NO + O_(2) rarr 2 NO_(2)" ," " "3 NO_(2) + H_(2)O rarr underset((D))(2HNO_(3))+NO):}`
Thus, `A = NH_(4)NO_(2) or (NH_(4))_(2) Cr_(2) O_(7), B = N_(2), C = NH_(3) and D = HNO_(3)`.
