The identification and conformation test of nitrate ion ( \$NO_3^{–}\$) using conc. \$H_2SO_4 and freshly prepared FeSO4 , is called as 'Brown Ring Test. In a test tube take the \$NO_3^{–}\$ containing sample .Then add conc.\$H_2SO_4\$ dropwise with gentle shaking and then heat it shortly using Bunsen burner & add freshly prepared greenish \$FeSO_4\$. Then, we can observe a brown ring formed in that test tube due to the formation of brown colored \$[Fe(H_2O)5 (NO)]SO_4 complex.Hence option A is correct.

Q: Why does \$N{O}_{2}\$ dimerise?

The dimerisation of \$\displaystyle NO_2\$ is due to presence of unpaired electron on nitrogen.

Question 1

Accepted Answer

When copper is heated with conc. $\displaystyle HNO_3$ it produces cupric nitrate  $\displaystyle Cu(NO_{3})_{2}$ and nitrogen dioxide $\displaystyle NO_{2}$. $\displaystyle Cu + 4 HNO_3 \rightarrow Cu(NO_{3})_{2} + 2NO_{2} + 2H_2O$Hence, option $A$ is correct.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Among the oxides of nitrogen: ${N}_{2}{O}_{3}, {N}_{2}{O}_{4}$ and ${N}_{2}{O}_{5}$; the molecule(s) having nitrogen-nitrogen bond are${N}_{2}{O}_{3} $ and ${N}_{2}{O}_{4}$. Whereas, ${N}_{2}{O}_{5}$ has nitrogen-oxygen bonds only.

Question 3

Select the incorrect statement(s) about $N_{2} F_{4}$ and $N_{2} H_{4}$ .
(i) In $N_{2} F_{4}$ , d-orbitals are contracted by electronegative fluorine atoms, but d-orbital contraction is not possible by H-atoms in $N_{2} H_{4}$ .
(ii) The $N - N$ bond energy in $N_{2} F_{4}$ is more than $N - N$ bond energy in $N_{2} H_{4}$ .
(iii) The $N - N$ bond length in $N_{2} F_{4}$ is more than that in $N_{2} H_{4}$ .
(iv) The $N - N$ bond length in $N_{2} F_{4}$ is less than that in $N_{2} H_{4}$ .
Choose the correct code.

Accepted Answer

1) s-character tend to concentrate in orbitals that are directed toward electropositive groups and p-character tends to concentrate in orbitals that are directed toward electronegative groups. 2) It can be explained on the basis of Bent's rule. In $N_{2}F_{4}$, $N-N$ bond has more s-character, hence, bond length decreases. While in $N_{2}H_{4}$, $N-N$ bond has less s-character (i.e. more p-character), hence bond length increases.
