Assertion : Pure N(2) is obtained from B...

Assertion : Pure `N_(2)` is obtained from `Ba(N_(3))_(2)` but not from `(NH_(4))_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)`
Reason : On decomposition `(NH_(4))_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)` gives `O_(2)` gas.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that pure \(N_2\) is obtained from \(Ba(N_3)_2\) but not from \((NH_4)_2Cr_2O_7\). - **Decomposition of \(Ba(N_3)_2\)**: When barium azide (\(Ba(N_3)_2\)) decomposes, it produces barium metal and nitrogen gas. The reaction can be represented as: \[ Ba(N_3)_2 \rightarrow Ba + 3N_2 \] Here, the nitrogen gas (\(N_2\)) produced is in its pure form because it is generated as a product without any other gases or compounds being formed in the reaction. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that on decomposition, \((NH_4)_2Cr_2O_7\) gives \(O_2\) gas. - **Decomposition of \((NH_4)_2Cr_2O_7\)**: The decomposition of ammonium dichromate (\((NH_4)_2Cr_2O_7\)) upon heating does not produce oxygen gas. Instead, it produces nitrogen gas, chromium(III) oxide, and water. The reaction can be represented as: \[ (NH_4)_2Cr_2O_7 \rightarrow N_2 + Cr_2O_3 + 4H_2O \] Thus, the reason provided is incorrect as it does not produce \(O_2\) gas. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is **true** because pure \(N_2\) is indeed obtained from \(Ba(N_3)_2\). - The reason is **false** because \((NH_4)_2Cr_2O_7\) does not produce \(O_2\) on decomposition. ### Final Answer The assertion is true, but the reason is false. ---
