    A black compound of manganese reacts with a halogen acid to give greenish yellow gas. When excess of this gas reacts with \[\text{N}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\]an unstable trihalide is formed. In this process, The oxidation state of nitrogen changes from

    A) \[\text{0}\,\text{to}\,-3\]

    B)  \[-3\,\text{to}\,0\]

    C)  \[-3\,\text{to}\,+5\]

    D)  \[-3\,\text{to}\,+3\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     \[\underset{\text{black}}{\mathop{Mn{{O}_{2}}}}\,+4HCl\xrightarrow{{}}MnC{{l}_{2}}+\underset{\text{greenish}\,\text{yellow}\,\text{gas}}{\mathop{2{{H}_{2}}O+C{{l}_{2}}}}\,\] \[\overset{-3}{\mathop{N}}\,{{H}_{3}}+3C{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\overset{+\,3}{\mathop{N}}\,C{{l}_{3}}+3HCl\]
