Chemistry of Alchemist (Science Diary)✒

Laboratory Preparation of Nitrogen using Sodium nitrite (NaNO₂) and Ammonium Chloride (NH₄Cl).

(The best example to Displacement Reactions).

About Element  Nitrogen (symbol N):

Atomic number: 7, Discovered and Isolated by  Daniel Rutherford in 1772.

Step I.  NaNO₂ +NH₄Cl ----convert to--- NH₄NO₂ +NaCl

(Reactants) ----Convert to--- (Products)

Step II.  NH₄NO₂ ----convert to--- N₂ + 2H₂O

(Reactants)----Convert to--- (Products)

# (Decomposition of Ammonium nitrite (NH₄NO₄), produced gaseous Nitrogen (N₂) in Step II).
