Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Balanced equation for the preparation of sodium nitrite from heating of sodium nitrate and heating of sodium nitrate with carbon has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Balanced equation: The overall mass of the starting materials should be equal to the overall mass of the products. This is governed by the law of conservation of mass.
To balance: The preparation of sodium nitrite by the heating of sodium nitrate
