The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following compounds give no residue upon heating, we need to analyze the thermal decomposition of each compound listed in the options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze NH4NO3 (Ammonium Nitrate)**: - Upon heating, ammonium nitrate decomposes to form nitrous oxide (N2O) and water (H2O). - Reaction: \[ 2 NH_4NO_3 \rightarrow N_2O + 2 H_2O \] - Both products are gases, so there is no residue left after heating. 2. **Analyze NH4NO2 (Ammonium Nitrite)**: - When ammonium nitrite is heated, it decomposes to form nitrogen gas (N2) and water (H2O). - Reaction: \[ NH_4NO_2 \rightarrow N_2 + 2 H_2O \] - Again, both products are gases, resulting in no residue. 3. **Analyze (NH4)2Cr2O7 (Ammonium Dichromate)**: - Upon heating, ammonium dichromate decomposes to form nitrogen gas (N2), chromium(III) oxide (Cr2O3), and water (H2O). - Reaction: \[ (NH_4)_2Cr_2O_7 \rightarrow N_2 + Cr_2O_3 + 4 H_2O \] - Here, Cr2O3 is a solid residue, meaning this compound does leave a residue upon heating. 4. **Analyze NH4Cl (Ammonium Chloride)**: - When ammonium chloride is heated, it decomposes to form ammonia gas (NH3) and hydrogen chloride gas (HCl). - Reaction: \[ NH_4Cl \rightarrow NH_3 + HCl \] - Both products are gases, so there is no residue left after heating. ### Conclusion: The compounds that give no residue upon heating are: - NH4NO3 (Option 1) - NH4NO2 (Option 2) - NH4Cl (Option 4) Thus, the final answer is **Options 1, 2, and 4**.
