CaO+N2CaO+N_{2}

B

CaC+N2CaC+N_{2}

C

CaC2+NCaC_{2}+N

D

CaC2+N2CaC_{2}+N_{2}

Answer

CaC2+N2CaC_{2}+N_{2}

Explanation

Solution

Nitrolim' is prepared by heating finely powdered CaC2CaC _{2} with a little of CaCl2CaCl _{2} in the atmosphere of N2N _{2} at 1000−1100∘C1000-1100^{\circ} C, in an electric furnace CaC2+N2−>[1000−1100∘C][(CaCl2)][CaCN2+C]nitrolimCaC _{2}+ N _{2} {->[{1000-1100^{\circ} C }][{\left( CaCl _{2}\right)}]}\underset{\text{nitrolim}}{\left[ CaCN _{2}+ C \right]}
