JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2020 - 8th January Evening Slot - No. 18)

A metal (A) on heating in nitrogen gas gives compound B. B on treatment with H2O gives a colourless gas which when passed through CuSO4 solution gives a dark blue-violet coloured solution. A and B respectively, are :
Na and NaNO3
Na and Na3N
Mg and Mg3N2
Mg and Mg(NO3)2

Explanation

3Mg(A) + N2 $$\buildrel \Delta \over \longrightarrow $$ Mg3N2(B) $$\buildrel {6{H_2}O} \over \longrightarrow $$
3Mg(OH)2 + 2NH3 (colourless gas)

CuSO + 4NH3 $$ \to $$ [Cu(NH3)4]SO4 (deep blue solution)
