Dear Student,
(a)The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of heating copper (II) nitrate in a boiling tube,
Cu(NO3)2 + heating → 2CuO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g)
Copper (II) nitrate Copper Nitrogen dioxide Oxygen
(b) Brown gas evolved is nitrogen dioxide gas (NO2)
(c) It is a thermal decomposition reaction.
(d) pH range of the aqueous solution of the gas X i.e. NO2 gas.
Aqueous solution of non-metals generally form acidic solution.
Similarly aqueous solution of NO2 forms acidic solution with pH range 1 to 6 or below 7.
