Which of the following statements is/are true about nitrogen?

  1. Its atomic number is $7$

  2. It is very difficult to identify

  3. It is a typical non metal

  4. Ease of formation of triple bond


Correct Option: A,B,C,D
Explanation:
Nitrogen is a chemical element with the symbol $N$ and atomic number $7$. Nitrogen is commonly referred to as and used as an inert gas (high abundance & low cost). Due to its inert nature it does not react with other compounds. Hence, Nitrogen gas is very difficult to identify because of its nonreactive nature. 
Nitrogen completes its octet state by forming triple bond. 

Choose the correct statement from the following :

  1. Nitrogen is neutral to litmus

  2. Nitrogen is a noncombustible and non-supporter of combustion

  3. Nitrogen is a poisonous gas

  4. At low temperature, nitrogen can be liquefied on compression


Correct Option: A,B,D
Explanation:

Nitrogen is a neutral gas hence, it does not show any change with litmus. Nitrogen is inert at atmospheric conditions. Hence, it is noncombustible nor it does not support combustion.  Liquid nitrogen is nitrogen in a liquid state at an extremely low temperature. Hence, at low temperature, nitrogen can be liquefied on compression. Nitrogen is non-poisonous gas and constitutes around 79% of the air.

Nitrogen is used in high temperature thermometer:

  1. to prevent vaporization of mercury

  2. to improve conductivity of mercury

  3. to maintain mercury in its state

  4. to increase the specific heat capacity of mercury


Correct Option: A,C
Explanation:
In a memory thermometer, nitrogen gas is filled above the mercury which is inert in nature and doesn't react into mercury.
Introduction of nitrogen increases the pressure on the mercury and hence its boiling point is increased.
So it helps to prevent vaporization of memory and hence mercury is maintained in its liquid state and so the range of mercury can be increased up to $800$$° C$
B.P. of mercury $336.7$$° C$

When metal foundry products are cleaned by shot blasting, heat is generated by friction. Nitrogen is used for:

  1. providing an inert atmosphere

  2. cooling the blast chamber

  3. reducing friction

  4. displacing hot air


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Nitrogen commonly used as inert gas to create inert atmosphere because the strong triple bond needs a lot of energy to break and participate in a reaction. Hence, ${N} _{2}$ is referred as an inert gas.

Which of the following is not a nitrogenous fertilizer ?

  1. Calcium cyanamide

  2. CAN

  3. Super phosphate of lime

  4. Urea


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Calcium cyanamide ($CaCN _2$) is nitrogenous fertilizer.
CAN is calcium ammonium nitrate and urea $NH _2-CO-NH _2$ is also nitrogenous fertilizer.
Superphosphate of lime, $Ca(H _2PO _4) _2$ is fertilizer of phosphorous.So it's not the fertilizer of nitrogen.
Hence option C is correct.

In Kjeldahl's method, nitrogen present is estimated as:

  1. $N _2$

  2. $NH _2$

  3. $NO _2$

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Kjeldahl method is a method that is used the quantitatuin estimation of nitrogen conlaining in inorganic substances like $NH _3/NH _4^+$, and in organic substances.In kjeldah's method, notrogen is estimated in following steps : 

$Step$ $1:$Degradation: Sample$+H _SO _4\longrightarrow {(NH _4)} _2SO _4+CO _2+SO _2+H _2O$
$Step$ $2:$ Ammonia is liberated : ${(NH _4)} _2SO _4+2NaOH\longrightarrow Na _2SO _4+2H _2O+2NH _3$
$Step$ $3:$ Ammonia is captured : $B{(OH)} _3+H _2O+NH _3\longrightarrow NH^+ _4+B{(OH)} _4^-$
$Step$ $4:$ Back titration : $B{(OH)} _3+H _2O+Na _2CO _3\longrightarrow NaHCO _3+NaB{(OH)} _4+CO _2+H _2O$
Thus in Kjeldahl's method, nitrogen present is estimated as $NH _2$.

In the reaction of $2NO+{ O } _{ 2 }\rightarrow 2{ NO } _{ 2 }$, if the rate of disappearance of ${ O } _{ 2 }$ is $16gm$ ${ min }^{ -1 }$, then the rate of apperance of ${ NO } _{ 2 }$ is:

  1. $90\ gm\ { min }^{ -1 }$

  2. $46\ gm\ { min }^{ -1 }$

  3. $28\ gm\ { min }^{ -1 }$

  4. $32\ gm\ { min }^{ -1 }$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
$2NO+{ O } _{ 2 }\rightarrow 2N{ O } _{ 2 }$
$-\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \cfrac { d\left[ NO \right]  }{ dt } =\cfrac { -d\left[ { O } _{ 2 } \right]  }{ dt } =\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \cfrac { d\left[ N{ O } _{ 2 } \right]  }{ dt } $
$\cfrac { -d\left[ { O } _{ 2 } \right]  }{ dt } =16ℊ{ min }^{ -1 }=\cfrac { 16 }{ 16 } mol{ min }^{ -1 }=1mol{ min }^{ -1 }$
$\cfrac { d\left[ N{ O } _{ 2 } \right]  }{ dt } =2\times \cfrac { -d\left[ { O } _{ 2 } \right]  }{ dt } =2\times 1=2mol/min$
No. of moles$=\cfrac { weight }{ mol.wt } $
$2\times $Mol. wt of $N{ O } _{ 2 }=$wt
$2\times 46=$ wt $\Rightarrow $Weight of $N{ O } _{ 2 }=92ℊ$
Rate of appearance of $N{ O } _{ 2 }=92ℊ/min\approx 90ℊ/min$
Therefore, option $A$ is correct.
