    Brown colour in \[HN{{O}_{3}}\] can be removed by

    A)  adding \[Mg\] powder

    B)  boiling the acid

    C)  passing \[N{{H}_{3}}\] through acid

    D)  passing air through warm acid

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Brown colour of \[HN{{O}_{3}}\] is due to the presence of\[N{{O}_{2}}\], which is formed by its decomposition.                 \[4HN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{Sunlight}\underset{brown}{\mathop{4N{{O}_{2}}}}\,+2{{H}_{2}}O+{{O}_{2}}\] When air is passed, the equilibrium shifts towards left hand side and brown colour is removed.
