$Li_2O$ and $NaNO_2$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) When heated,lithium nitrate decomposes to form lithium oxide $(Li_2O)$,nitrogen dioxide $(NO_2)$,and oxygen $(O_2)$:$4LiNO_3 \longrightarrow 2Li_2O + 4NO_2 + O_2$In contrast,sodium nitrate decomposes to form sodium nitrite $(NaNO_2)$ and oxygen $(O_2)$:$2NaNO_3 \longrightarrow 2NaNO_2 + O_2$Therefore,the products are $Li_2O$ and $NaNO_2$ respectively.Note: At very high temperatures (above $800 \ ^{\circ}C$),$NaNO_2$ can further decompose to $Na_2O$,but the standard decomposition product for $NaNO_3$ is $NaNO_2$.
