The p-Block Elements.

Question:

 How is nitrogen prepared in the laboratory? Write the chemical equations of the reactions . involved.

Answer:

In laboratory, nitrogen is prepared by heating an equimolar aqueous solution of ammonium chloride and sodium nitrite. As a result of double decomposition reaction, ammonium nitrite is formed. Ammonium nitrite is unstable and decompose to form nitrogen gas.
