The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the production of laughing gas and nitrogen gas from the heating of ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) with other substances, we can break it down into steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Laughing Gas**: - Laughing gas is chemically known as nitrous oxide, which has the formula N₂O. 2. **Determine the Reactant for Laughing Gas**: - To produce laughing gas (N₂O), ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) is heated with sodium nitrate (NaNO₃). - The reaction can be summarized as: \[ NH₄Cl + NaNO₃ \rightarrow N₂O + H₂O + NaCl \] 3. **Identify Nitrogen Gas**: - Nitrogen gas is represented by the formula N₂. 4. **Determine the Reactant for Nitrogen Gas**: - To produce nitrogen gas (N₂), ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) is heated with sodium nitrite (NaNO₂). - The reaction can be summarized as: \[ NH₄Cl + NaNO₂ \rightarrow N₂ + H₂O + NaCl \] 5. **Final Answers**: - Laughing gas is obtained when a mixture of NH₄Cl and **NaNO₃** is heated. - Nitrogen gas is obtained when a mixture of NH₄Cl and **NaNO₂** is heated. ### Summary: - **Laughing gas (N₂O)** is produced with **NaNO₃**. - **Nitrogen gas (N₂)** is produced with **NaNO₂**.
