2. (a) On heating, sodium nitrate, (NaNO 3) decomposes giving the sodium nitrite, (NaNO2) and oxygen while magnesium nitrate, (Mg(NO 3)2), decomposes giving magnesium oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. (i) Write balanced equations for the decomposition of sodium nitrate and magnesium nitrate respectively. [2] (b) (i) 5.35 g of a mixture of sodium nitrate, (NaNO3) and magnesium nitrate, (Mg(NO3)2), was heated in a fume cupboard until no more gases were evolved. The sodium nitrite, (NaNO 2), formed was dissolved in water to form a 250 cm 3 solution of nitrite ions, NO 2 . The nitrite ions in the solution reacted with 40.00 cm 3 of acidified potassium manganate(VII) solution. The nirite ion half equation is given by: NO2  + H2O NO3  + 2H+ + 2e Write a balanced equation for the reaction between nitrite ions and manganate(VII) ions.
