Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion and the other is labelled as Reason.

Assertion: Fluorine forms one oxoacid. Reason: Fluorine has smallest size amongst all halogens and is highly electronegative.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Options
  1. a

    Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

  2. b

    Both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

  3. c

    Assertion is correct and reason is incorrect

  4. d

    Assertion is incorrect and reason is correct

Correct Answera

Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Detailed Solution

Strategy: Evaluate the feasibility of high-purity nitrogen production via azide decomposition.

Step 1: Pure Nitrogen Reaction Thermal decomposition of Barium or Sodium Azide: \ceBa(N3)2ΔBa+3N2\ce{Ba(N3)2 \xrightarrow{\Delta} Ba + 3N2} This method is renowned for producing spectroscopic/pure grade Nitrogen.

Step 2: Conclusion The reactant identified for pure nitrogen production provides the answer.

Answer: (Option) [b] \ceBa(N3)2\boxed{\text{Answer: (Option) [b] $\ce{Ba(N3)2}$}}
