Which ordering of compounds is according to the decreasing order of oxidation state of nitrogen ?

A

`HNO_(3),NO,NH_(4)CI,N_(2)`

B

`HNO_(3),NO,N_(2),NH_(4)CI`

C

`HNO_(3),NH_(4)CI,NO,N_(2)`

D

`NO,HNO_(3),NH_(4)CI,N_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Let the oxidation state of nitrogen=x
`HNO_(3):(+1)+X+2(-3),x=+5`
`NO:x+(-2),x=+2`
`Nh_(4)CI: X+4(+1)+(-1),X=-3`
`N_(2):2x=0,x=0`
Correct decreasing order of oxidation states
`underset(+5)HNO_(3) underset(+2)Nounderset(0)N_(2)underset(-3)NH_(4)CI`
