Question

Aqua regia is used for dissolving noble metals (Au, Pt, etc.). The gas evolved in this process is

Options
  1. a

    NO

  2. b

    N2O5\mathrm{N_2O_5}

  3. c

    N2\mathrm{N_2}

  4. d

    N2O3\mathrm{N_2O_3}

Correct Answera

NO

Detailed Solution

Strategy: Relate the electronic configuration of noble gases to their tendency to form compounds.

Step 1: Noble Gas Reactivity Noble gases were long considered inert due to their complete valence shells. However, Xenon (\ceXe)(\ce{Xe}) reacts with highly electronegative elements like Fluorine and Oxygen due to its relatively lower ionization enthalpy compared to other noble gases.

Step 2: Conclusion The identification of the specific reactant or product in the question confirms the answer.
