The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the compounds "A" and "B" based on the given information about their formation and reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify "A" from Ostwald's Method**: - Ostwald's method involves the oxidation of ammonia (NH3) in the presence of air (oxygen). The primary product of this reaction is nitrogen monoxide (NO). - Therefore, we can conclude that **A = NO**. 2. **Determine "B" from the Further Oxidation of "A"**: - The question states that "A" (which we identified as NO) undergoes further air oxidation. When nitrogen monoxide (NO) is oxidized by oxygen (O2), it forms nitrogen dioxide (NO2). - Thus, we have **B = NO2**. 3. **Hydration of "B" to Form an Oxoacid**: - The next part of the question mentions that "B" (NO2) upon hydration forms an oxoacid of nitrogen. When NO2 is dissolved in water, it forms nitric acid (HNO3). - Therefore, the oxoacid formed is **HNO3**. 4. **Evolution of "A" from the Oxoacid**: - The question also states that this oxoacid (HNO3) evolves "A" (NO) upon some reaction. This can occur in certain conditions where nitric acid can decompose to release nitrogen monoxide. - Thus, we confirm that **A = NO** and **B = NO2**. 5. **Brown Ring Test**: - Finally, the oxoacid (HNO3) is known to give a positive brown ring test when reacted with ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) in the presence of sulfuric acid (H2SO4), confirming the presence of nitrate ions (NO3^-). - This aligns with our findings that HNO3 can produce NO. ### Conclusion: - Therefore, the correct identification of the compounds is: - **A = NO** - **B = NO2**
