"Hyponitrous acid and nitramide both have the formula H2N2O2 . Hyponitrous acid is a weak diprotic acid while nitramide contains the amide group (−NH2) "
Answer whether the above statement is true or false.
If true enter 1, else enter 0.
Solution
Hint- In order to deal with this question first we will understand both the compound hyponitrous acid and nitramide further then we will see the property and according to it we will comment on our answer.
Complete step-by-step answer:
The hyponitrous acid is an organic compound, and a nitramide isomer. The property value of donor hydrogen bond and acceptor hydrogen bond is 2 and 4 respectively. This is also known as a dimer hyponitrous acid.
There are two series of salts for hyponitrous acid and they are hyponitrites with [ON=NO]2− anion and acid hyponitrites with [HON=NO]− . The property value of hydrogen bond donor and hydrogen bond acceptor is 2 and 4 respectively. Hyponitrous acid is synthesized from silver (I) hyponitrite and anhydrous HCl in the ether.
Nitramide is a chemical compound with the molecular formula H2N−NO2 . Organyl derivatives of nitramide, RNHNO2 are termed nitro-amines, and are widely used as explosives: examples include RDX and HMX. It is a tautomer of hyponitrous acid.
Hyponitrous acid is the chemical compound H2N2O2 . This can be formulated as [HON=NOH] and is an isomer of nitramide (which is an amide, H2N−NO2 It forms white crystals that are explosive when dry.
So, the given statement is true.
Hence, option 1 is correct.
Note- The hyponitric acid is oxidized to create nitric and nitric acids in the soil. To cure hyponitrite salts, a reduction of a nitrate or nitrite by sodium amalgam in the presence of water was used. Hyponitrous acid is a very volatile acid in the dry phase and this acid needs to be handled carefully.
