The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the nitrogen oxide that condenses to a bluish liquid at -30°C and transforms into a reddish-brown gas upon warming. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Nitrogen Oxides**: - The common oxides of nitrogen include NO (Nitric oxide), NO2 (Nitrogen dioxide), N2O (Dinitrogen oxide), N2O3 (Dinitrogen trioxide), and N2O5 (Dinitrogen pentoxide). 2. **Check the Physical States of Each Oxide**: - **NO**: Colorless gas at room temperature; does not condense to a bluish liquid. - **NO2**: Reddish-brown gas at room temperature; does not condense to a bluish liquid. - **N2O**: Colorless gas; does not condense to a bluish liquid. - **N2O3**: This oxide is known to condense into a bluish liquid at -30°C. - **N2O5**: Colorless solid at room temperature; does not condense to a bluish liquid. 3. **Behavior of N2O3**: - When cooled below its condensation point, N2O3 forms a bluish liquid. - Upon warming, N2O3 decomposes and releases NO2, which is a reddish-brown gas. 4. **Conclusion**: - The oxide of nitrogen that meets the criteria of condensing to a bluish liquid at -30°C and transforming into a reddish-brown gas upon warming is **N2O3 (Dinitrogen trioxide)**. ### Final Answer: The oxide of nitrogen that condenses to a bluish liquid at -30°C and changes into a reddish-brown gas upon warming is **N2O3 (Dinitrogen trioxide)**. ---
