Question

A colorless compound 'X' when heated give a brownish gas and also release a colorless gas.
Write the balance chemical equation and identify the 'X' and brownish gas.

Answer 1

Brownish gas is NO2?
I'm just guessing

Answer 2

@DLS can you please write the whole reaction

Answer 7

ahh sorry man, this is Chinese to me.

Answer 8

lol

Answer 9

@mathslover @saifoo.khan

Answer 10

NCl3 + O2 => NO2 + 3/2 Cl2

Answer 11

possible

Answer 12

is \(\large NCl_3\) a colorless compound???

Answer 13

It's yellow. :s

Answer 14

yeah!! its yellow but in question it needs a colorless compound or transparent compound

Answer 15

Oho!I though it also releases "chlorine gas. lol.
Now it's possible.

Answer 16

Try N2H4 + O2.

Answer 17

hey its Any nitrates i hope bcoz there exist equilibrium between NO2 and N2O4
and NO2 is brownish and N2O4 is colorless:)
why not the colourless gas is N2O4 ??
any metal nitrates you can consider :)

Answer 18

@saifoo.khan can you please give me some more reactions one by one?

Answer 19

@saifoo.khan NO_2 is brownish gas...
can you tell me any reaction in which this brownish gas is evolved???

Answer 20

can it release anything else with a colourless + brown gas?

Answer 21

i don't know..... but @RANE i think it can't release anything else

Answer 22

umm....

Answer 23

because it is clear in the question...

Answer 24

plz tell me reaction only....

Answer 25

the colourless gas could be N2O and brown gas could be NO2

Answer 26

can you please write the reactants????

Answer 27

i think its N2 + O2 ===> N2O + NO2

Answer 28

it balances though

Answer 29

no!! no !! no!!! it can't balance though

Answer 30

wait!!! i can balance....

Answer 31

N2 + O2 ===> N2O2

Answer 32

are you sure \(\large N_2O_2\) are products???

Answer 33

yes

Answer 34

how??

Answer 35

but rane we have to evolve NO2

Answer 36

its a compound product mayank

Answer 37

and it can also be written as (NO)2

Answer 38

in this link , it is given that \(\large N_2(g) + O_2(g) \to NO(g)\)
and you said \(\large N_2+O_2 \to N_2O_2\)
i am confused @RANE

Answer 39

i gave the reaction which produces a compound product mayank

in this link...it evolves a brownish gas

Answer 41

yes its correct

Answer 42

FINALLLYYY!!!!

Answer 43

can you explain me what is a compound product??
