The correct Answer is:
To purify dinitrogen (N₂) from the impurities of nitrogen oxide (NO) and ammonia (NH₃), we can use an acidified solution of potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇). Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Impurities Identify the impurities present in the dinitrogen gas: - Nitrogen oxide (NO) - Ammonia (NH₃) ### Step 2: Use of Acidified Potassium Dichromate We will use an acidified solution of potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) to purify dinitrogen. The potassium dichromate is typically acidified with sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). ### Step 3: Reaction with Ammonia When ammonia (NH₃) is passed through the acidified potassium dichromate solution, it reacts to form ammonium sulfate: \[ \text{2 NH}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{(NH}_4)_2\text{SO}_4 \] This reaction effectively removes ammonia from the mixture. ### Step 4: Reaction with Nitrogen Oxide The potassium dichromate also oxidizes nitrogen oxide (NO) in the presence of sulfuric acid: \[ \text{4 NO} + \text{O} \rightarrow \text{4 HNO}_3 \] Here, the nascent oxygen produced from the acidified potassium dichromate reacts with NO to form nitric acid (HNO₃), which is a liquid and can be easily separated from dinitrogen. ### Step 5: Separation of Dinitrogen After the reactions, the dinitrogen (N₂) remains unreacted and can be collected, while both impurities (NO and NH₃) are removed in the form of ammonium sulfate and nitric acid. ### Conclusion Thus, dinitrogen can be purified from the impurities of NO and NH₃ by passing through an acidified solution of potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇). ### Final Answer The answer is an acidified solution of potassium dichromate. ---
