Answer» a. Ammonia is produced. `3Zn+NaNO_(2)+5NaOH rarr 3Na_(2)ZnO_(2)+NH_(3)+H_(2)O` b. `4overset(Θ)OH+2H_(2)O+underset(x=0)(Zn) rarr underset(X-4= -2)(ZnO_(2)^(2-))+4H_(2)O+2e^(-)]xx3` `7H_(2)O+6e^(-)+underset(x=3)underset(x-4= -1)(NO_(2)^(Θ))rarr underset(x= -3)underset(x+3=0)(NH_(3))+2H_(2)O+OH` `5NaOH+NO_(2)^(Θ)+3Zn rarr 3ZnO_(2)^(2-)+NH_(3)+H_(2)O` (Add `6Na^(o+)` ions on both sides) `ulbar(5NaOH+NaNO_(2)+3Zn rarr 3Na_(2)ZnO_(2)+H_(2)O+NH_(3))` |
