$N_2O_5$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The acidity of non-metal oxides increases with an increase in the oxidation state of the central atom. Calculating the oxidation states of nitrogen in the given oxides: $NO_2$: $x + 2(-2) = 0 \implies x = +4$ $N_2O_4$: $2x + 4(-2) = 0 \implies x = +4$ $N_2O_5$: $2x + 5(-2) = 0 \implies x = +5$ $N_2O_3$: $2x + 3(-2) = 0 \implies x = +3$ Since $N_2O_5$ has the highest oxidation state of $+5$, it is the most acidic oxide among the given compounds.

$a$. Pure nitrogen	$i$. Chlorine
$b$. Haber process	$ii$. Sulphuric acid
$c$. Contact process	$iii$. Ammonia
$d$. Deacon's process	$iv$. Sodium azide or Barium azide
