Question

YESPYQ · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: d) ${\mathrm{NH}}_{4}\mathrm{Cl}$. The greenish-yellow gas is chlorine (Cl₂). MnO₂ + H₂SO₄ (conc.) generates nascent oxidizing conditions and can oxidize chloride ions (Cl⁻) to chlorine gas. Reaction: 2Cl⁻ → Cl₂ (greenish-yellow gas) Among the options, only NH₄Cl contains chloride ions. So, NH₄Cl → Cl⁻ → Cl₂ (gas formed)
