Sodium azide `(NaN_(3))`is prepared by heating a mixture of
A. `NaNH_(2)` and `N_(2)O`
B. `NaNO_(2)` and `N_(2)O`
C. `Na_(3)PO_(4)` and `N_(2)O`
D. `NH_(4)NO_(3)` and `NCl_(3)`
A. `NaNH_(2)` and `N_(2)O`
B. `NaNO_(2)` and `N_(2)O`
C. `Na_(3)PO_(4)` and `N_(2)O`
D. `NH_(4)NO_(3)` and `NCl_(3)`
Correct Answer – 1
`N_(2)O` is important in the preparation of sodium azides and hence also of the other azides:
`N_(2)O+2NaNH_(2)rarrNaN_(3)+NH_(3)+NaOH`
