A nitrogen-containing compound (X) is obtained by dehydrating conc. HNO₃ with P₄O₁₀ at low temperature. Then (X) :

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, C
Solution:

X = N₂O₅, a colourless deliquescent solid: 4HNO₃ + P₄O₁₀ → 2N₂O₅ + 4HPO₃. It is the anhydride of HNO₃, ionic ([NO₂]⁺[NO₃]⁻) in the solid, and a powerful oxidising agent: N₂O₅ + Na → NaNO₃ + NO₂. In the gas phase the N-O-N bridge is BENT (non-linear), so (D) is false.
