Solid N$_2$O$_5$ is

Question

Given below are two statements I and II.
Statement I: Dumas method is used for estimation of "Nitrogen" in an organic compound.
Statement II: Dumas method involves the formation of ammonium sulfate by heating the organic compound with concentrated H$_2$SO$_4$. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Answer 1

Understanding the Concept: Structure changes in solid state

Step 1: In gaseous state, N$_2$O$_5$ is covalent.

Step 2: In solid state, it forms NO$_2^+$ and NO$_3^-$ ions.

Step 3: Hence behaves as ionic solid.
Final Answer:
Solid N$_2$O$_5$ is ionic
