Sodium nitrate on reduction with $$Zn$$ in presence of $$NaOH$$ solution produces $$N{H_3}.$$ Mass of sodium nitrate absorbing $$1\,mole$$ of electron will be
A.
7.750$$\,g$$
B.
10.625$$\,g$$
C.
8.000$$\,g$$
D.
9.875$$\,g$$
Answer :
10.625$$\,g$$
Solution :
Ammonia is formed by reduction of nitrates and nitrites with $$Zn$$ and $$NaOH.\,\, Zn$$ and caustic soda produce nascent hydrogen which reacts with nitrates to form ammonia.
\[NaN{{O}_{3}}+8{{H}^{+}}+8{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{Zn/NaOH}NaOH+N{{H}_{3}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\]
From the equation,
Mass of \[8\,moles\] of electron absorbs \[85\,g\,NaN{{O}_{3}}\]
∴ Mass of $$1\,mole$$ of electron absorbs $$\frac{{85}}{8} = 10.625\,g$$ of $$NaN{O_3}.$$
