(a)
Interpretation:
The formula of a compound of nitrogen which is a weak base should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Weak bases are those which does not dissociate completely.
(b)
Interpretation:
The formula of a compound of nitrogen that is a strong acid should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Strong acids are those which dissociate completely in solution.
(c)
Interpretation:
The formula of a compound of nitrogen that is a weak acid should be determined.
Concept introduction:
In an aqueous solution or water weak acid is partially dissociate.
(d)
Interpretation:
The formula of a compound of nitrogen that is a capable of oxidizing copper should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Nitric acid is a strong acid so; it is capable to oxidized copper.
